More On Bikes

So the bicycle is a "two-wheeled
monstrosity"! This is an original
notion, to be sure, but hardly
exempt for that reason alone from
the need for documentation. Perhaps
it will be found that in Charlottesville
bicycles do, after all,
mow down more little children
than do Fords and Chevys, offend
the ear more than the blessed motorcycles,
and spit more smoke and
fames than all the rest put together.
But come, good sir, your statistics.
