send this to your non-cycling friends
http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/200...stacles-to.html
An excellent piece to give to people who are sorta thinking about cycling. Eg "But what about the cars" you may ask. "Surely I should fear the cars." Well, you should be aware of the cars, and you should know that many of them are driven by people so stupid they can barely operate them, but you should not fear them. Rather, you should know them and understand them. You're at a distinct advantage because, being stupid, most drivers are easy to figure out. It won?t take you long to anticipate their stupid behavior in the same way you can usually figure out what your dog is about to do next. zebee |

Yes, that bit and the bit just after were my favourite parts. I look forward to my daily BSNYC, but today's piece was extraordinary. -- John If anyone should object to any statement I make, I am quite prepared not only to retract it, but also to deny under oath that I ever made it. - Tom Lehrer |
