I need to call securrity on bike riders, specifically the ones in NYC! I understand this is rough casting them out, as a bike isn't a car, but isn't quite side-walk friendly. What to do? I guess we should just throw them into the hudson and move on to segues. (JK!) Bikes aren't so bad, but why do the riders choose to weave around you as you're crossing the street? A few days ago I was in the city and, within a one block span, managed to almost lose my life twice to the two-tired transport devices. What is that? The first time was while walking on the side walk; my weight loss efforts must be paying off as this man, on his way to deliver someone their lunch, did not see me. Thankfully he didn't strike and we both walked away unscathed. Walking in the city is relaxing, not a real-life game of frogger! Similarly, as I was crossing a few feet up, a biker weaved around me while I was in the cross-walk. This occasion made me angrier as I could see the biker coming at me the first time; this time I only felt the rush of air as he whizzed past me. I should have thrown something at him and watched as he crashed to the ground.
My favorite bike encounter was in Times Square. I am crossing the street by The Olive Garden and I hear someone scream "Shizzer!" I look to my left and see a biker coming right at me. He pumped his brakes so hard he almost flew off. Serves him right!
