A thought
I was riding with my friend A today when somebody honked at us to move over in a short stretch of road that had construction cones in it. This guy just had to squeeze by us rather than wait for us to get through the brief section of the road that was being repaired. I guess he wanted us to ride off in the gravel or something. About four seconds later we were past the cones, the road was wide again, and he sped around us, frowning and shaking his head. Then about two seconds after that he had to stop at a stop sign.
A. asked me if it was evil to wish that all the oil and gas on the planet would just vanish. Then we got to wondering why there can’t be one state in the country that didn’t’ allow any cars.
“I would move there,” she said. “It wouldn’t matter which state it was. It could even be Oklahoma.”

Since bicycle tires & tubes are made out of oil it would be rather silly to wish all the oil away.
