"t always baffles me that ANYONE, let alone city planners and whatnot, still beleives that further road construction does *anything* to combat traffic and congestion, even after its been shown time and time again that car traffic behaves like a gas - it expands to fill available space.
the *only* thing that will reduce car traffic is viable transportation options - and by viable i mean rail transport and human-power. not stupid electric cars, not freaking busses."

This may *seem* off-topic...but it's not. Not really. Our vintage bikes will, in time, be a lot more interesting to a lot more people than they are now.
Most of us will live long enough to see the end of the ICE as we know it. What will it mean? Who the hell knows? But it'll be an interesting ride. We're already seeing the beginning.

No bs here folks. Just the facts. Read and weep. Or rejoice, depending on how pessimistic, or optimistic, you are.
