ELF pedal electric car on W&OD

Best typo of the month!

Are you sure it was a typo?

or he who thinks he is going to save the world by depleting it of its rare earths to make batteries.

50 years ago General Jack D. Ripper said "I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids."

Now they are going for our rare earths. We were warned.

This is insanity.

The one post of yours that applies, you weirdo.

There's a guy who parks his ELF at Judiciary Square many mornings. It's covered with weird political rants of unclear meaning. Hmmm.

Last time I checked, Taiwan wasn't controled by the Commies.

Well, this has been entertaining. I am glad that SolarBikeCar is not alone. And hopefully he is equipped to deal with his supporters.

I picture some sort of Mad Maxx apocalypse of modified ELF cars on MUP trails and these crazies spewing 1984-style propaganda.

Before all this I really did think the ELF was a great idea. Now I am increasingly worried I would be mistaken for one of these other ELF drivers. Apparently the world needs more ELFs (driven responsibly ... on roads) to make these weirdos the exceptions.

This thread took a hard right turn to crazy town. I try and make a point not to pig wrestle so it is the sidelines and popcorn for me.

Whoa whoa whoa, we have learned so much!

• He believes very strongly in the One Country, Two system policy
• This helps in ignoring Taiwan as a democracy
• 25% is the ideal percentage of GDP for manufacturing, without this, 3rd world status for sure

I would ignore me if I were on the opposite side of common sense, too, but my guess is you'd rather condemn pedal travel to the effete, recreational, overpriced-brand-name-Chinese bike, stretch pants crowd, than have it actually displace ICE travel. Maybe there are many in that area of the country who are deathly afraid that a year round, all weather, fun, healthy alternative to the automobile could seriously cramp the styles of some pretty powerful forces in this country. I have had no negative reaction to my ELF in Minnesota, only smiles, waves, curiosity, and people wanting to ride it.

(Yes, I take it on bike paths all the time)

Nice how you think you're on some side of "common sense" when you are trying to turn this into a racial issue, bashing everyone over the head with the Thread of the Yellow Horde and Those Evil Yellow People over and over again. Nope. Not trolling or offensive or insane at all.

FYI: Some of us do a lot of riding on bikeshare. Those are/were made in Canada. While not quite the U.S., it's not produced by those scary yellow people. But maybe the Canadians don't fit into your acceptable political spectrum. Too Commie-like for you, maybe, eh? If it's not Ted Nugent-made, it's Communist and a threat to your very freedom?

Welcome back OneLessCar. What happened? Did your mom wake you up for dinner?

Oh right, I forgot. Your just back from work, and ready to dedicate another all-nighter defending capitalism, America, and ELF against the evil empire of Cannondale.
