I had to ride my bike (my
Valenbisi
bike, that is) home in the rain last night. I’m not complaining, at least I was
wearing a raincoat. Sometimes it’s a little annoying when I have to ride in the
rain and I arrive somewhere a little wet (and really annoying if I’m
soaked).
Sometimes—but not often—I feel
tired and I don’t exactly relish a long haul across town on a bike. Having a
bicycle as my main means of transportation comes with the occasional annoyance
but for the most part I love it. On most occasions I seriously think to myself, “Yippee, I get to
ride my bike!” I really do let out a cheer. I love bike riding and almost
everything that comes along with it: fresh air, exercise, great scenery, and it’s
just plain fun!
The shit storms I avoid by not having a car are almost too
numerous to list. As I was riding home in the rain last night I witnessed two
drivers fighting over a parking spot like two hyenas growling over a rotted wildebeest
carcass—something I am never forced to do.
true dat! though occasionally we have to bear the brunt of the urban motorist's rage... this morning on my commute i had two such cases, notably a female driver who was so fed up with [x] that all she could say to me was: "me molestas." ayyyyyy!

ReplyDeleteSorry for the double post, but it's Halloween over here, which in suburbanese means "Mommy's half in the bag"
ReplyDeleteI had a driver yell at me recently for doing something I probably shouldn't have done. I stopped and said to him that he can yell at me only if he's never done anything stupid in his car. I told him that drivers do stupid shit all day that puts my life in danger and that he should shut his trap and deal with it. When I have the chance to discuss things with drivers face-to-face they are remarkably polite.
