I Ride a Bicycle
RECEIVED Wed., Feb. 11, 2004
Dear Editor,
I ride a bicycle.
You perhaps will assume that I'm too cheap for a car, am a student, an environmentalist, and have particularly toned buttocks. Quite true.
But when you assume that I am not riding on the sidewalk, crossing the street as you speed to the very edge of traffic to turn, and therefore over my pathway; when you turn right without looking right (or left, whatever) – keep in mind that human guts are a pain to clean off your front grill.
I got hit yesterday; just thought I'd say something.
