No wonder the vehicle of choice among the pioneers may soon be seen crowding the avenues of our modern metropolises, with cracks of the whip and cries of, "Uptown, Ho!" Or "Carnegie Hall, Yo!" And entire wagon trains of commuters, wending their ways to their urban workplaces, with shouts of "City, Yeehah!"

The vision may be far fetched, but at least it's gas-free.
