"Bicycle Centaurs"

abt today's bike riders of cities
cowboys ^ daredevels, environmentalists & investment banking peddalers
the play was composed at the corney of Castro & Market Streets at the new outdoor tables & chairs across the street from Twin Peaks

This seems an ideal play for Theater for the New city''s Green Scene Cabaret whre last year Myers' play about the Berkeley tree climbers was staged--
that was "Environmentalits' Seance."

Poor, poor Rob. His ability to play Dear Leader to petrol-pimping reactionaries is deteriorating as rapidly as his mid-20th century mindset. His last couple decades on this planet will be indelibly marked by the intensification and spread of the cycling revolution he has worked so hard to denigrate and obstruct.

Meanwhile, younger San Franciscans--and younger Americans and Europeans--will continue to adopt cycling in ever-greater numbers than those who came immediately before us. This tectonic shift in healthy, sustainable, environmentally-responsible transportation will eventually alter urban planning, politics, and the way we see ourselves, one another, and our planet.

This is the shape of things to come: two wheels and zero emissions. And, perhaps, a lovable old coot, covered in spittle and waving a cane, somewhere near a safe, wide and well-traveled bike lane.
