Listen, I'm COMANDANTE BANANA, which means I'm the boss of the
revolution. I'm all for "ideas" from Germany, Holland, etc, but not
exactly your regulations.

The ANARCHIST CYCLIST riding fast belongs on the road, but I'd mandate
the car to CLEAR THE LANE 30' BEFORE AND AFTER, so the cyclist and the
car can share the road safely.

I'm for borrowing ideas from Curitiba when it comes to public
transportation, so we will put in place the best solutions out there,
even if only in our mind.

And I can name you sub-comandante for Germany..
