Bicycle of Mass Destruction


So, I wonder what hysteria wingnuttia will demand, given that an item about as ubiquitous as it is primitive has been tentatively identified as a suspect vehicle in the Times Square recruitment station bombing?

And, while I'm guessing, I think the odds are reasonable that a person who uses a Ross bicycle to travel around New York City might not have a Blackberry/iPhone/GPS/PDA for monitoring per Shrub and Ollie North's mastubatory fantasies. Hence a bit of artistic license in adding the cutting-edge pay telephone to my picture.

So, what now? Will the wingnuts demand that Americans call the biggest bicycle race the Tour De Freedom? Maybe the Bush adminstration can demand that parents use their whopping $600 dollar government check for GPS tracking systems for their kids' Big Wheels and BMX's? Will tricycles be exempted? I'll bet Schwinn means "friend of Osama" in the original German...

Damned dirty Wright Brothers.
