Please buy a couple of bicycles, one for each member of your family. Ride your bicycle together enjoying your family and beautiful environment, while getting a great exercise. Avoid unnecessary driving; remember the fact that cars emit over 30% of the harmful gases. If we cut down our driving in half, we are doing a great service to our children and ourselves. Global Warming is a threat to our species and we must reverse it before 2018, or face the end of us, the humanity.

Life of all human beings are obviously equally precious, whether or not we are driving a non-polluting environmentally friendly bicycle, or driving a huge gas-gosling and highly polluting automobile. But unfortunately in practice a person who is driving a highly polluting gas-gosling car has far more human rights and privileges than a caring person who is driving a non-polluting bicycle. We must change that.

Car-polluting drivers have the control and the total use of all roads, all the time. What does a caring bicycle driver have? Obviously not much! Just a designated tiny bike path, couple of feet in width, only on a couple of avenues in New York City, streets of Manhattan, which offers a dangerous chance of getting run-over by cars. This is absolutely unfair and we must change that.

Why is that?

United States Constitution:
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

U.S. Declaration of Independence:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the Earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. - - We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - -That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed'

If in terms of human rights and equality, based on the United States of America's Constitution and Declaration of Independence, WE THE PEOPLE are indeed equal with Unalienable Rights, which means a car driver and a driver of a bicycle both enjoy exactly the same human rights and equality, therefore they both must enjoy having the same equal designated road space to travel and commute?

Post Office Mail Delivery, Traffic Department, Police Petrol, High School and College Students, and many other civilian professionals could easily use bicycle as their means of transportation, great fun exercise and better future for all of us, the humankind. We must also make all parks CAR free at all times for people use only.

We must unite, contact and remind our local, state and federal representatives to act accordingly and rectify this grave in justice immediately. We, the people should also declare a CAR FREE day in New York City. One day a week, no cars of any kind, just people, bicycles and clean AIR, while children are safely playing in parks and streets.

And in conclusion, since riding bicycle is a great and very effective exercise, it can help the out of shape car drivers to not only stop polluting and contributing to the Global Warming and Global Warring for oil, also loose weight and live a happy healthy life, while the country will be saving billions of dollars of unnecessary medical expenses going to waste each year treating over weight car drivers and a like.

Driving your bicycle is good and healthy for you, your family, the environment in which we all live, and it is a great fun exercise. Driving your bicycle is a socially friendly behavior, which bring people and communities closer together.

Sincerely,

Bahram Maskanian
