"If you take a bike and make it fast - you end up with a motorcycle. We already have powered two-wheeled machines. Anyway, I am a typical car commuter and get very annoyed with cyclists who, during rush hour of course, insist on riding right in the middle of the road, oblivious to the mile long line of cars baked up behind them. In my opinion, the cyclist here is the one who is being inconsiderate and ignoring the world around them by insisting they have the right to plod along in the middle of the lane and not at least move over a little, especially on the more rural roads. I know a motorcycle is not the same exercise but at least you won't be imposing your slow pace on thousands of other people who are late for work. "
"Pickups are hugely popular no matter what your occupation or socio-economic status. I see one of these and despite it being a pickup - it doesn't scream blue collar any more than a brand new Jeep Rubicon with knobby tires screams redneck. Not when everyone knows how much these thing cost. As to Ford's motivation, well, pickups always sell well so this can only broaden the appeal to those with deeper pockets who might otherwise buy a sedan."
