A motorcycle solving climate change

How cool are motorcycles?

They're so fast, sleek, sexy, sav-y on gas, cheap and fun.

How bad do you want one?

Well, I really want one. Here's the thing. All that hypocrisy about "hybrid cars being the way of the future," is such a huge load of I don't even know what.

Why can't we all just buy motorcycles?

1. Traffic–alleviated. The wide roads already allow motorcycles to fit three to one lane. That's three commuters that could have been in three different diesel trucks, taking up at least 100 feet.

2. Fun–fixed. So many people don't like driving. It's boring. It's easy. It's passive–almost. Put them on a bike where they always have to be thinking.

3. Bad drivers–gone. You can't be an idiot and be on a bike. It's impossible. If you are, your chances of being killed are are so much worse. You actually get to be human on a bike. You get to use your brain.

Oh, the best part: no cell phones.

But, even if every person had a bike, there is still a big safety issue. You might be out of your cage, but now your out of your cage doing 90 on the free-way and could fly off.

Where a helmet. Where long sleeves. Where big shoes. And gloves.

Instead of that Toyota shit box, buy a motorcycle and learn how to ride it.

Part of climate change: in the works of being solved.
