I dreamed this up 6 years ago in Beijing - a Sports Utility Bicycle (SUB) that could literally blast all the unwanted junk (cars, scooters, etc...) out of the bike lanes around Beijing.
Also, I've run into 3-times by cars driving in the bike lane... If i had a SUB, the car that hit me would suffer also! =-)!Report as spam -

Shouldn't there be an Aardvark? The Tweed jacket was a nice touch.
