How Grand



While riding into work today, it occurred to me how grand it would be if all those cages (otherwise known as "cars") were suddenly replaced by motorcycles. The entire freeway, nothing but cycles. What a grand and stately parade we would be, the throb, whine, shriek, hum, rumble, roar, etc., of hundreds of motors, gently in sync. The vision was quite clear, simply wonderful, beauty to behold. Ahh....

Of course, riding would lose some of its allure. After all, it's difficult to play the bold individualist when you're surrounded by bold individualists. Nonetheless, I'd vote for it. Sure, rain would be a hassle, but not as horrible as you might think. Besides, if everyone rode you can bet that the roads would be designed to handle water better, in ways more suited to motorcycles than cages, er, cars.

Sigh...I had a dream, I did....
