Is there anything more fun than riding a bicycle past a Hummer Dealership?
It just makes my smugness meter go off the charts.

Post the things you do to help the Earth that are also insanely fun.

(Showering for two is too obvious an answer to even bother posting)

1. Walking home from work
past the backed up traffic. I love it when I play a bit of tag with the cars - they pass me, I pass them, they pass me, I pass them. Depending on the traffic, I often cross at the light at the same time they do after playing tag a few times.

3. Yep riding past a hummer on the road shoulder
with the driver trying to get a ride to a gas station because he ran out of gas.

And then flipping him off.

4. My dear taterguy!
Yes, there is at least one thing that's more fun than riding your bike past a Hummer Dealership!

Driving my HYBRID past that dealership!

7. I bet the people driving past you in their Hummers also feel pretty smug
After all, that's the reason they purchased it.

11. Getting 32 MPG on the highway with Mrs R's Volvo while knowing that the rightwingers
sneer at me for being DUmmy Liberal.

(Of course, we'll not discuss the gas mileage that MY car gets. We just won't, OK?

13. No there aint:
I asked the last Hummer owner I saw get out of his penis enhancer how far he'd go to put gas in it.

I asked him if he'd be willing to sell one of his kids into sexual slavery for it.

(I spent 50 bucks on gas last year, zero dollars this year. Car free for 6 years.)

Xtracycles Rule!!

19. I don't know about "insanely fun", lol, but I now walk to Von's market
(10 minutes away) and Trader Joe's (20 minutes away). And they are gonna put a Whole Foods in about 15 minutes' walk from my place. Also, Office Depot and a drugstore and a bunch of eateries are 10-15 minutes away, branch library 15 minutes, Orange Rapid Line (express bus >> subway >> downtown) station 10 minutes.

If the store exteriors were more tasteful and less "Decaying mid-20th Century Tacky" I could pretend I was in Europe.

21. Being at the same gas pump with a Hummer is sorta fun...
As I gas up my Civic Hybrid. My four year mileage average is 45.7. Of course, I'd rather be riding my bike, but health concerns have precluded that lately.

22. Driving a 15-yr old Ford
through yuppieville, land of brand-new SUVs and Fergie CD's, blasting out Janis Joplin songs on the radio at top volume and singing along with the windows down.
