It is hard to tell what is supposed to be funny about the cartoon. The whole special rights lane is pretty funny, given that traffic engineers have intentionally favored motor vehicle traffic for decades, and would vaporize that bike lane in an instant to satisfy the wishes of the drivers. But I have to think that fact is invisible to most of the onions readers, so my money is on the bike lane for cars concept being what is supposed to be funny.

So here's the link: http://www.theonion.com/articles/congested-values,26723/ It'll probably get reprinted as a straight cartoon, of course. First rule about The Onion is, the people The Onion makes fun of don't know it's a fake newspaper. ------------ Patrick Lenon _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
