A while back we wrote of the bike racks appearing in Manhattan as part of a Bike Share program. We then read about two men arriving simultaneously at a bike rack and there was only one cycle available. Both were in a hurry but being reasonable fellows, one suggested they solve the dilemma by falling back on the children's game of "Rock, paper, scissors" with the winner taking the bike. And so it was that rock vanquished paper with rock riding off downtown leaving paper in the gutter waving for a taxi. Would that our Washington, D.C. representatives could settle their disputes so amicably. So it's off to the playground, children - but be careful with those scissors.
