"I'm not a racist, but if the Muslims get their way, it could be the end of our Dutch way of life." (Read: "Gunned Down...
Trikkes can easily fold up and fit in the trunk of a car, but unlike the company's strictly human-powered vehicles, which start at $250 for adults, the Pon-e is very pricey at $1,700.

Born Everette Lynn Harris in Flint, Mich., he quit his job at IBM in his mid-30s and sold his first novel, Invisible Life, out of the trunk of his car to beauty salons and bookstores. A source of inspiration for black gay men, his once forbidden stories about their relationships caught on with female fans: for years, it was virtually impossible to ride the subway in New York City, Washington or Atlanta without coming across a black woman reading one of his novels...
