being a girl, i am mercifully exempt from bike-seat-ball-strike, but i know all too well the sinking feeling of remembering too late why it's not prudent to ride down fourth or fifth st. around old city.
the cycling situation in Philly's getting a bit dicey at the moment, thanks to an almost witch-hunt level of "cracking down" on cyclists. i do have a bias towards riders, but i feel justified because i've been a driver as well--i can empathize a bit more with the other side, while a lot of cycling antagonists hold their opinions because they've never tried a daily bicycle commute in philly. the streets are a freaking battlefield, bicycle motion is far more affected by the laws of physics, and when car hits bike, bike loses 90% of the time. but then again, i'm also of the opinion that this will be a big stink for maybe a few weeks longer, then blow over and things can get back to the aggrevated, neglected status quo. there's a reason this city is so fucked, and it's not because it embraces change and evolution.
that being said, get your bike off the fucking sidewalk unless you're walking it.
in other news, i've been watching too many documentaries. |
