I'm a bike person really but I voted motorcycles because c'mon...motorcycles. No for real though you can compete and even surpass traffic on almost all city streets & roadways, but you only need a few feet width of space to get around obstacles like garbage trucks, stopped cars, obstreperous babies, school buses. I have legit weaved between a bunch of fire trucks that had closed an entire 6-lane street because of a roof rescue situation and the fire fighters were like "No problem, come through here." In short, motorcycles.

Uber should've made it on my list. Especially after reading the New York Times piece on that ding-dong Travis Kaepernick whatshisface being a schmuckball par excellence, I will go out of my way to avoid going out of my way for any exploitative gig-based driving solution.

ducklings and babies are like plastic bags and bottles, you should make an instinctual attempt to swerve and avoid them, but if you drive over them, nbd, shouldn't be in the road.

last autumn i was in cambridge and a bunch of tourists had stopped traffic to take photos of some turkeys. them birdy bastards are big and mean, and entirely undeserving of photographic recognition, and i was about to start blasting my horn. then, a turkey charged at the photographers and traffic unknotted quickly. but seriously, who the hell takes photos of jaywalking turkeys? even if i was in cambodia and a shitass cute slow loris paused in middle of the road, i wouldn't stop for it. ducklings are special. and yeah, include puppies and kitties. but only domesticated and adorable animals.

Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain, and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires-- at least in a poor country like Russia. In America it takes an automobile to produce this effect.
