“Mankind has invested more than four million years of evolution in the attempt to avoid physical exertion. Now a group of backward-thinking atavists mounted on foot-powered pairs of Hula-Hoops would have us pumping our legs, gritting our teeth, and searing our lungs as though we were being chased across the Pleistocene savanna by saber-toothed tigers.

Bicycle riders would have us throw all this on the ash heap of history.”

Not a nickel of new taxes until term limits change the political culture on Capital Hill.”
