*By Buzz Rodell, founder of Big Cars For A Better Tomorrow*

I would like to voice my constant frustration with the city of Santa Monica. The city continues to punish drivers by rewarding those who choose to ride a bike or a bus. Just because they are helping the environment, they should get their own lane? I dream of a day when bike lanes are used to make the car lanes wider and when bus lanes are turned into SUV lanes. The air might not be as clean, but driving to Starbucks in my Hummer will be so much nicer.
