Cruisers and Bikers

Warning: This is a venting post, so don't let the accompanying photo fool you - I just feel that a post without a photo on this blog would feel really bare and uncomfortable to see.

Throughout the summer, I almost always resort to my bicycle as my choice method of transportation, for the sake of keeping active, and not having to walk. And there's also the fact I'm not allowed to drive too.

Over the course of this summer, biking around has led me to see that the roads always have a blundering mess of reckless drivers waiting around the corner. And so, it's always important to be super careful.

Now, biking for so long has only made me get used to the dangers of the roads (when those dangers shouldn't even be there in the first place), but it was only yesterday, after getting hit by a car, that I've realized I've had enough. Yesterday, I biked across a crosswalk after the pedestrian light flashed. A driver, whose car was already stopped, made a right turn and bumped into me, though nothing much happened other than me tumbling off my bike. I'm blessed enough to not have attained any injuries, but I thought, what if the car wasn't at rest? Yikes.

So, drivers, please drive carefully and safely. And to pedestrians and bikers, make sure drivers see you (and if they see you yet something happens, honestly, just sue them.)

Sorry if this post is a bit too serious for your taste.
