In a city ruled by cars, why is it that you can get places faster on bikes?” question. It takes a lot less space, money, and resources to move people via bicycle (or rollerblade) than it does by car. You guys should use your video footage to visually compare how much space each Crimanimal took up relative to a person in a car. The whole ride, if it were in individual cars, would have totally blocked the freeway. These guys didn't impede traffic (in this instance) even though they were on the "slower" mode. SPACE, TIME, and MONEY -> all saved by allowing people to move themselves using a bike. One piece missing from the “... just wanted to raise questions about the transportation infrastructure.
