With such an absurd premise, It cannot be a good read. Satellite dish
registrations are increasing dramatically. They are equally to blame.
This is just some California wacko with a woody for SUVs wanting to
blame them for everything. I don't have one either, but I don't have
any "cages" as well. My family has a car, a pick-up and 2 motorcycles
(and 6 bicycles).

Now, this I agree with whole-heartedly. However, how is this different
from when I was riding regularly 20 years ago (before children and a
multi-year gap)? There are more people, now and therefore more
traffic, plus cellphones, but the problem has always been with us.
Remember the cute 20-something putting on mascara driving to work?
They're still doing it!
