Thanks for this super important PSA, Steve. I want to add 3 important things, if I may: 1) It is important to apply it frequently when you are out and about.

Subject Matter Mostly it's about local transportation cycling, as it exists in the here and now. It's got a smattering of other gratuitous toy recreation thrown in to keep y'all a little off balance. For those that don't know me, toy recreation means English & Italian cars, aircraft - and downhill skiing.
