In Oz the Left is using CUBA as a shining example of a self-sustaining economy and praising their recycling methods...a recent ‘documentary’ showed PEDAL POWER as an alternative transportation method (husband pedalling, rikshaw fashion -wife and children sitting in a contraption fastened to the rear wheel) Recycling plastic bags - washing them, hanging them out to dry on the balcony and taking them to market to sell!
Life in Cuba must be the ultimate utopia...
There was a time when I rode the bicycle to work year round, and as far as I know I was the only bicycle out in the winter. But, car drivers got progressively worse and I gave up and got the Chevy just to even the odds. I do not hang plastic bags out the windows to dry and at 55 mph they would not hold up well anyway.
