I loved the bike system in Japan.

And by loved, I mean I was horribly paranoid /terrified of it.

PastiBike?
 
Yeah taht's rather common with teenagers here. Then again, they don't obey any traffic laws or pay attention to the road otherwise, so they're a permanent danger anyway. Kids are stupid. :rolleyes:
 
Re: Walking. It's my favorite method of getting around in my city. I walk to work nearly every day, it's about 2 miles. I got so used to it that I had difficulties getting into public transport again. I don't own a car. I ride the bike mostly outside of the city. I'm not a very trained biker therefore I'm scared in the city. Car drivers tend to be quite reckless and aggressive there. I like the way it works in Scandinavian countries. Here, I don't get why everyone has to drive into the city by car and so many are acting like assholes. But there are many rude bikers as well. People riding their bikes on the boardwalk, which is forbidden, or who are going much too fast, not stopping at red lights, who are talking on their phones while riding and so on. It all would be much more relaxing and safer if everyone taking part in traffic would be a bit more careful and considerate.
 
I'm a trained biker since 3 years now! I only use my car for a ride>20 km. I live in Strasbourg, this city where everything is done for the bikers, it's the city of bike since a couple of years, very ecofriendly. We also got the Velhop, 1 hour for 2€. Everyone has a bike here! Bikes are parked everywhere it's a mess...

This should have been the confirmation we needed that something was not too far off. Bono is too vain to go out like this without a pressing need like, say, a publicity campaign that he needs to get his rock star back on for.

Let's just say he was on holidays. You don't expect to be watched and photographed all the time when you're on a private trip with your family. If he feels like jumping on a bike, why shouldn't he? Most people his age don't look exactly cool when riding a bike.

You're in the minority. Most drivers I've ever observed believe that bikes should be on the sidewalk. They truly drive like they don't know that bikes are vehicles to be given space and consideration on the road like any other vehicle.

Most people in walking cities (or in my case a walking campus) disagree.

As a runner I both understand why bikers want to be on the sidewalk and hate them for being on it. I don't really have a problem with bikers using the sidewalk but I wish they'd realize it's their duty to get out of the way.

Yes, Bono usually only goes outside if there is an award waiting for him.

I'm not sure what you're saying people disagree with. I'm saying drivers ignorantly drive like they believe that bikers should be on the sidewalk and not on the street.

People in walking cities disagree with that? Highly doubt it. As all 3 at any given time (pedestrian, cyclist and motorist), the last place I want to see a bike is on a sidewalk. Get the fuck off, is my initial reaction lol. But I understand why some do it: because they can't get cars to respect them on the street.

Bikes and pedestrians do not mix on the sidewalk. Certainly not in large cosmopolitan centers of 4million+ people. Which is probably why it's against the law.

I have an inside source that knows a guy that also knows guy that knows this girl that works at a pressing plant in their printing department and they received this artwork for the cover.

My inside source is the cousin of the delivery guy who delivered Kung Pao to electric lady land studios, but not to the band, but to renovators who were working on a room in the back, but not in the back of the studios, but in the back of the building by a janitor's closet.
