On transfer from Evil Forces are Gathering thread...Bikers are good for the country because...(AKA the New Zen of Political Influence and Motorbike Riding)
We use less fossil fuels thereby depleting less ozone and should be given global warming credits on the annual rego charge
We take up way less road space and if everyone was made to ride bikes Auckland's traffic issues would be solved in an instant, by doubling the number of lanes in the same available space [Im sure theres something wrong with this concept but cant think what it is right this second, something like "if everyone rides them, we wont be special"]
We learn skills that make us instantly better social citizens - like an improved sense of local body responsibility (know the roads and pay attention to the road surface), and community mindedness
We possess a general stunningly superior awareness of other human beings in the social "road", have enhanced risk and cautionary assessment skills that can be used for social problem solving, and are inbued with the patented Kiwibiker Responsibility Taking Norm...
We contribute to raising the country's knowledge economy innovation skills when we extrapolate the motorbike skill of knowing when to NOT sit in a line of baaing sheep traffic...
We are happier and use less anti depressants. We can make our own fun and live out loud, creating intergenerational examples to offset the nihilism of the X generation and capitalist modernity...{aww fuck they re elected Bush}...
I know, I know, some of you just RIDE cos you LIKE IT. Blah. Deeeeep.
