Uhm,

I'm lost the article is about Pakistan and nothing about bikes? I'm I missing some sort of inference in the subject line

Yep, I'd love to attend a rally with that group...at least until they stoned me to death...

Guess I missed it now it says I have to be a member of the nytimes to see the article. If it is what I think it is those guys would "stone" me for even hopping on a bike. Does a helmet count or do I need a burka over it? My neck might show though that could be waaay to revealing for you guys!

awwww. btw anyone ever see that vid of a middle easterner. doing what appears to be drifting on a bicycle?. was 15.5 shades of pretty cool

In pakisthan the cop bikes were RZ250's until a few years ago. Yea no way that was ever ridden right, cos most of the roads there are unpaved and crappy.
Cool.

I dont support islamic law, sooo i dont think of them as my counterpart.  (caption says they are supporters of islamic law in the swat valley..) Personally, Id put a chain an IED in thier path.  If pakistan wont gaurd thier own people, some one needs to start going on a vigilante rampage across the swat valley.
