A Davis, CA Power-mower
I live in suburban Davis, California, where the bicyclist rules. We have bikes and bike trails all over our perfectly flat suburb. The laws are tough and the tickets steep for automobile drivers who violate the cyclists' space. Don't get in that bike lane, dude. It is quite common to see a family of four or five bicycling somewhere together, and it is not uncommon to know someone who doesn't even own a car, and says things like, "I'm off oil, man." But when I came across this Davis version of a power-mower, even after years of living here in Bike World, I was impressed. Clear-headed suburban thinking at its finest! A push mower in front of a mountain bike. Can I get that back yard for you, Mom?
