Seven pages. Harumph! And I still don't care what motorists think of me breaking the law on my bicycle.

It was a warm day and I made it over most every hill and overpass without stopping and walking up. It was a warm day and the only person on the sidewalks was another cyclist on the underpass walkway. Domino's had a scratch-off game on their flyer and I went across town and got my free Parmesan bread bites which was great with two days until I can grocery shop.
I haven't been over the interstate on my bike in a while, not even to shop at Kmart, so I enjoyed the ride. Wednesday there is a 60 year old plastic table radio waiting for me and a used widescreen computer monitor and the Mexican and Greek-Italian restaurants await me this week for my monthly diet screwup to stay happy and sane.

Comparing a thinking animate object with non thinking inanimate object, eh?

Motorists are thinking animate objects? With 2.4 million annual injuries to their credit, you sure could have fooled me. Water falls, motorists fail. It's all the same.

2.4 million is a Saganesque number, one that would suggest Mittygation is necessary. If I've told you 1,000 times to avoid exaggeration...

Since the college went to a bikeshare program with mostly hybrids, there's been a bit of improvement on that side; the cruisers get used for intracampus rides, and the share hybrids make for much faster, easier trips off campus, but I still occasionally end up hugging the gutter to get past a couple of barely-over-walking-speed BSOs wobbling all over both sides of the street.
