The statement was an attempt to capture the reckless youth's possible mindset. <BR/><BR/>I guess I have a live and let live approach to people who ride bikes. I don't think my way is the only proper way to enjoy a good bike ride. I'm more than willing to let others ride the wrong way, disregard traffic control devices, and endanger themselves. I've been known to jump ramps, ride with abandon, and stop at stop signs when no one else was around. It just depends on how I want to ride at any given moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-4158723723524581142008-08-26T12:33:00.000-06:002008-08-26T12:33:00.000-06:00Well, I perceive it as recklessness or folly if yo...Well, I perceive it as recklessness or folly if you narrowly miss hitting someone. Certainly his choice. As is choosing to get cited. But you are right--the standards of citizenship are pretty low. <BR/><BR/>I suggest saving the exuberance for the open road. That is, the road in areas not festooned with kids walking across the road on their way to school. <BR/><BR/>No fun on my way to work? Gimmie a break. If I wanted to have "no fun" on my way to work, I'd have driven my car. With the windows rolled up and the A/C on, of course. Signpost sprints can be a lot of fun, and plenty of opportunities for them around here. Or, just watching the world go by.Khalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866897914538110672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-36788685438725508932008-08-26T08:35:00.000-06:002008-08-26T08:35:00.000-06:00Remember, the lines are our friends.

If he chooses to ride that way, it's his choice. I'm sure he would didn't write a blog entry criticizing the older guy in spandex and a plastic hat having no fun on his way to work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
