After VW was outed for falsifying environmental data in its cars hundreds of thousand of VW vehicles were taken off the road now sitting in storage sites. Hundreds of thousands of cars now lie in lots in the Mojave Desert, a shuttered suburban Detroit football stadium, and a former Minnesota paper mill in America alone. These vehicles are now in the open slowly breaking down with pollutants entering the environment. Is the the modern cost of corporate greed? What can we do to ensure this never happens again?

Upright or recumbent bicycle? On an upright, any serious amount of braking on the front wheel leads to pitch over.

Braking my old Schwinn (which was heavy -- 40 pounds on the scale) on ice... had to use rear brake ONLY. Touch the front brake and the whole bike would instantly swap ends, making for an exciting ride...
And there is no Alkibiades to come back and save us from ourselves.
