When I ride my bike home from work I am taking my life in all the drivers’ collective hands. I have to say I have never had such a problem being seen as I did yesterday. And I guess it is all ok because the drivers that were nearly crashing into me you know shook their head and shrugged. Oh, well as long as they shake their head then ok. Plus I got a shrug; imagine a head shake and a shrug, which makes almost getting crushed worth it. Not like a driver actually yielding, no that would embarrass me and make me feel like I am taking too much advantage of the pedestrian law. You know, even though I am in the crosswalk and waiting for the signal, no don't stop; just gimme that shrug then were good.

Not all drivers are that bad...I’m told. I just notice the ones that come close to imprinting a decal of my face on their grill. I drive too, and I can see how a cyclist might be a hassle, having to wait that extra five seconds can put my teeth on edge too. Why should I wait I have the bigger vehicle! That's what bike paths are for! We that and people who walk...together with another person...with headphones on so they can't hear you.

Anyway I weighed in at 181.4 lbs and I am on my way! Feel great and look great.
