Bikers Beware: An Open Letter to the Fairweather Bike Commuter
August 26, 2009Dear Mr/Ms/Mrs I-commute-during-the-warm-season-only-bike-rider,
If you are going to ride on the road, please follow the rules of the road. I applaud your wanting to save money and the planet, but I am saddened by your lack of common sense. This includes your failure to stop at stop signals and instead blow through them, not being aware of the cars around you, and your failure to signal your turns. Also, if you are riding on the sidewalks, please know that the rules of pedestrians apply to you then. Don’t just be on the road and then off the road. Choose one and go with it! Oh, and also please wear a helmet, fool.

Bikers stress me out.
as a year round biker…i totally agree.
Thanks for the support tyler. Sometimes, I think that people should have to test to ride on the road.
