Are SUVs "evil" and bikes "good"?

I know many cyclists don't think about the implications of riding a
bike, but there's really a moral stand in these Last Days of Global
Warming, Globalization and SUVs. Yeah, of late all it seems to matter
is that you've got enough money to burn and buy an SUV. But you say,
"no!" and do the right thing. Well, perhaps you only do it for s****ts
or sightseeing, but still you better know you're not evil --that's if
you don't own an SUV.

"Evil is a broad term used to indicate a negative moral or ethical
judgment, often used to describe intentional acts that are cruel,
unjust, or SELFISH. Evil is usually contrasted with good, which
describes intentional acts that are kind, just, or unselfish."

(SUVs here mean Supersized Unnecessary Vehicles, the necessary ones or
the smaller ones are OK)

There's been some controversy whether SUVs are evil or not, so it's a
good thing we put it to vote. Nobody can deny the SELFISH element in
them, but some may be reluctant to use a strong word such as evil
(used for slavery or terrorism, for example), but then they want to
feel "good" about riding a bike. Bikes are friendly to the environment
and people, and get you in shape. Well, in order for something to be
good, something else must be evil. It's like yin and yang. And how
about cars? Well, they are OK. They are simply necessary when
distances get longer.

How about if you deny all this and say that there's no good and evil
in whatever you choose to drive/ride? Well, then many would ask, "Why
ride a bike!?" Oh well, for exercise. I may use my stationary bike as
well --with none of the risks. And also for sightseeing. A bike lets
enjoy the scenery like no car can.

So I can say that today I will do something that's OK, and then
something real good. Meaning I will drive a car and later ride some
bike. With these and similar thoughts I leave you with the poll.
