In New York City, it is illegal to ride a bike on the sidewalk (pavement, for those of you who must indulge in British-English terms), and acknowledgement of the auto as 'king of the road' is unspeakably suburban;a dodgey proposition at best, and one best left to those whose sole occupation is the tending of the 'best lawn' on the block....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-5964515701742935772011-03-08T15:58:20.293-08:002011-03-08T15:58:20.293-08:00Good Lord thank you for saying such things.

I am regularly forced to reroute my morning commute because the cyclists here are actually chaperoned by police officers who block traffic for them.

Groups of 10 to 20 cyclists - poor visibility, no lights. And what do they do when they hear the car approaching - spread our wider so you can't pass.

Those miscreants no doubt saved themselves from a painfully learned lesson when they ran away. <br /><br />Sadly,these spandexed and sweaty hordes are allowed to bring their cycles on the trains,too. Added to the weary rail-commuter's worries are the probability of getting whacked in the head with a dirty tire by some clueless "revolutionary" with a No Blood For Oil sticker on his petroleum based helmet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-47289524921401095462011-03-07T11:49:37.760-08:002011-03-07T11:49:37.760-08:00I would like to forward this wonderful post but cy...I would like to forward this wonderful post but cyclists are a humorless lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-1315508245964285262011-03-07T10:53:38.541-08:002011-03-07T10:53:38.541-08:00Well said.
