Bicycles

A those clever French:

The French are turning Paris into a bicycle zone, pretty much overnight. Even now, astride small alleys and behind boulangeries, paving stones are being ripped to fit 750 bicycle rent "stations."
No not clever as in save-the-earth clever. Clever as in give-the-"youths"-something harder to burn clever. I'm sure a bicycle can be torched but it's bound to be less satisfying. Maybe they can be weaned off burning transportation devices altogether. "Don't complain about the bicycle Marcel, next month we're switching to roller-blades."
