    I was thinking about the recent lonk I posted:

    http://www.quadro4motion.com/

    It led to me to think about the A86 Péage tunnel on the north side of Paris.
    A bit of background. Bikes and scooters in France are known as two-wheels (or
    three wheels, in the case of the Piaggo (et al) scooters). I can imagine the
    conversation with the Tunnel owners going something like this:

    Tunnel employee: Ah, m'sieur, can I have a talk wiz you? We 'af a problem.
    Tunnel CEO: Of course Jean-Pierre, come into my office.
    TE: Well, it's like zis. You know we don't allow two wheels in ze tunnel
    because we're afraid zat zey'll stand on their footrests and decapitate
    zemselves [1]?
    CEO: Come, come, Jean-Pierre. You know it's because we really don't like ze
    two wheel riders. Horrible people, zey are. Greasy, dirty, bikers. Zat's just
    ze excuse we use.
    TE: And you know that we stopped ze three wheel scooters too. You've seen ze
    panels saying "No two or zree wheels".
    CEO: Very good move on your part Jean-Pierre. Zat was a super idea of yours.
    Zose crazy bikers. Zey tried to pull ze wool over our eyes. We got zat just in
    time.
    TE: Well, we 'af a new problem. Google ze Quadro scooter.
    CEO: Un instant.

    CEO taps one handed on his PC.

    CEO: Oh bugger.

    [1] This is one of the real reasons!
