Who the hell cares! It's fun and that's the main point isn't it? It's better than riding back and forth on some giant board that you can't do anything on.

I am somewhat involved in safety issues in my area which does come under a lot of scrutiny in the summer. "Doom and gloom, tune into national politics if that is your concern."
