Car drivers can be asshats.
Hubbie was out biking one day when some idiot on a bus hollered out the window “loser”.
At first he was dismayed. Then he thought to himself “hey, I have an expensive bike. That ass has $1.25 for the bus. “
And happily went on his merry way.

Only the insane, & people driving motor vehicles, can view other lives/humans as being "in the way."

Agreed. Is bizarre assumption that an adult riding a bicycle is worth less.
When we are given healthy bodies, why not celebrate their power to move?
Many give away that power without a thought. Then resent those who keep it.
Ah well.
:broom:

Pavement as we know it was actually invented for bicycles not cars. So there.

Hehe. I have to say that at least 50% of the bikers here see pedestrians as "being in the way". :D

:thinking: A fair point.
I call out warnings, when passing on trails.
But idiots, on phones, walk in front of bike--never looking.
Drunks fall into path. Uncontrolled children & dogs leap at moving pedals.
Overall: the whole city is in my way. And I am insane.
Luckily, own car also. Just to prove my point. :rofl:

It’s dangerous for all sides as people are glued to their phones like lemmings.

Happy Friday islanders!
Outlook is down and the hotline is not answering my phone calls. Fortunately, the net is working so I visited the LC website. Le Pliage in khaki is back. :nuts: Need, need, need! Someone will enter the boutique next week.
Wanted a khaki Pliage since forever. :)

Oh I love it when stuff like that happens:smile:
Happened at work when a new building was bulit next to the hospital and the excavator tore the data cable! No acess to patient data, no possibility to send patients off for examinations...That was the only time when I was happy that we still do paper patient charts.


It‘s Pentecost weekend anyways... nobody will care to repair!
Make it a really long weekend then Ludmilla!
