Allen Ginsberg never learned to drive, instead relying on planes, trains, taxis and, we presume, lead-footed friends like Neal Cassady. Ginsberg was a car hater back when gas and horsepower were cheap. Biking through the city, I agree with his sentiment in an essay he wrote on the artist Hiro Yamagata:
"...cars don't belong running around the earth, cars belong in museums along with stuffed dinosaurs, whose ghosts they've devoured."
