False equivalence meme needed

Looking for a Top Trumps* style meme - I can picture a bike and and an SUV side by side, with say weight, emissions, width and fuel consumption figures shown. any offers? 

I want to say to mrs Facebook false equivalence "yes, I'll definitely be looking out for those vulnerable people in cars when I'm cycling".

*If you're under 40, this is how you spent wet lunch-breaks at school, playing Top Trumps.  I've forgotten how you play - I think it's you had a deck of cards of say railway engines dealt out among the players and when it was your turn you called out the "best" statistic your next card has - whoever has the strongest card in that regard wins, and collects the cards. I think. 

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

I'm reminded of the old Mark Twain saying "don't argue with an idiot... they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

... or appropriate. Obviously I can hear people screaming about rates and different use- cases. And you should probably run that for a range of countries. But it's Top Trumps!

That one is certainly leafy... I was thinking more this - although this troll appears to be attacking motor vehicles rather than defending them.

Hmm no, still too roomy, best keep it small so as to avoid them moving in permanently.
