Many cars & SUVs show owners loading bikes on racks.

On a related note, French companies know not to waste advertising dollars on deodorant for French men and women who work up a sweat while walking.

“What did pedestrians do for transportation before socialism?

They used cars.”

By definition, pedestrians walks.

Before socialism, there were no cars.

"Being able to walk is always a necessity if you buy a fine French car (or British car)

It helps if you can push, too.

Socialist theory had to exist before people used it to befoul civilization.

The first experimental steam powered vehicles were in the 18th century … well before even theoretical socialism was formalized.

People befouled civilization with socialism long before Marx.

Actually, riding a bicycle is FAR MORE DANGEROUS to one’s health than driving.

After a fashion.

But it wasn’t until men started to have liberty and wide spread private enterprise happened and elevated many from the too frequent historical abject poverty that secular socialism could count on having other people’s money to fritter away.

Now socialists are busy trying to bring back that abject poverty.

It’s similar to their requirements for all food ads (for your health, move more) and alcohol ads (for your health, drink less). I always chuckle when I hear it. The message is always at the end of the ad.
