Are Blacks the only victims of Apartheid?

Not only them, but the people who are poor and the people who ride
bicycles... Yep, poverty and bikes have to do with democracy. The poor
need bicycles to get to work, so they can eat. But more often than
not, it ain't safe to ride a bike, even in the richest nations of the
Earth! Cyclists are treated like second-class citizens, where SUVs
signal power and money, just like among the elites who rule the poor
nations. So it is that this revolution puts together LIBERATION,
BICYCLES AND DEMOCRACY...

VERY FUNNY!)

OK, assume a far away land --a Banana Republic if you will-- where the
cyclists are victims of discrimination and injustice, and all of a
sudden they come to power… and voila, VELORUTION!

Like the article bellow says, not all vehicles are equal… The smaller,
the more protection they need; the bigger, the more responsibility. On
urban multi-lane roads, the right lane has a set speed of 20mph,
monitored by speed cameras. Bikes ride the lane. Do they get tickets
for running red lights? Nah, they hurt no one but themselves.
WHAT WOULD THE ROAD BE LIKE FOR CYCLISTS?
