I love these mental exercises.

Alas, perhaps we'd see simply a new set of prejudices:

Roadbikers screaming at those riding mountain bikes, "Get that hulk off the road!"

Cyclists grudgingly skirting Razor scooters and skateboarders, who have all left the sidewalk for the wide freedom of the street.

Other shifts in the paradigm:

Police officers, who themselves have had to forsake their cruisers in favor of bicycles, are forced to maintain a high level of fitness, leading to the Great Doughnut Market Crash.

Hordes of rikshaws circling airports.

Stock futures in Coppertone and Ben-Gay -- Blue Skies, Baby!
