wow they should make bikes illegal

For real! I went mountain biking earlier today, and I witnessed some kid hit a tree at high speeds, I don’t know if he was ok. Clearly people cannot be trusted with this military grade equipment, and will be hurting themselves and possibly others. Criminalizing cycling.

You have railway tracks and bicycles in one picture. But also allegedly WW1 Germans and a church. It's somehow both blessed and cursed.
