Orb_RoybisonInviting you all to imagine an alternative timeline in which bicycle technology became more popular than internal combustion technology. I’d argue perhaps the greatest invention in history. Does anything else convert energy so efficiently, elegantly, and pleasurably?

The bicycle is a staple convival tool! Tools for Conviviality
the greatest contraption yet devised by hummankind
Let's think about some of the cool things that would have happened in this alternative timeline: 1) Roads would be much narrower, leaving more room for grass and other good stuff. 2) Cleaner air. 3) No Jeremy Clarkson or others like him. 4) Princess Diana still alive probably. 5) Healthier people. 6) Cooler people. 7) Fewer American wars instigated to maintain low domestic gas prices. 8) No Fordism. 9) Probably no American geopolitical domination and resultant cultural hegemony. ...what else...?
right on the money.
