Something to fan the flames ... [snip] On one hand I do not like the idea of a bunch of caffeine-crazed adrenaline addicts packing guns, but on the other hand people tend to be polite when they know they could wind up dead. It would be an interesting experiment to suit up a bunch of riders in jerseys that said "Team Smith & Wesson" and see how many yahoos harass them. Or you can do it vicariously by reading about Spike Bike. This one has frames: http://danenet.wicip.org/bcp/spike.html This is for the frames-averse: http://earth.volition.org/~raster/bicyclist/Spike_Bike/index.html Both sites are kind of slow, but the reading is definitely worth it.
