Pet Peeve of the Day -- Bicyclists
I love to go bike riding. I remember biking the hour-long trip from Isola Mantegna where my mom lived to the military base in downtown Vicenza. That was a beautiful trip. Driving through the Italian countryside. Seeing the villas. Having Fiats pass me driving 60 mph on a two-way road that in the U.S. would be considered a one-lane road. One thing I learned in my biking travels... follow the friggin' laws!
That's not something you'll find here in Austin. Driving to work today, I guy just ran right through a stop light. And it wasn't one of the lazy guys thinking, "Well, it's up hill and I'm moving. So this'll be easier."
No. Because he had a perfect downhill road. He coulda stopped. Green light... glide down the hill... no extra effort involved. He's just a stupid arse.
I remember in college, students used to bitch when the cops gave them tickets. Now, I look back and think, if you were driving like that a$$hole, good for them!!!
Is it really that difficult to follow the bloody laws of the road for the safety of all?
Okay, [step down] off my soap box.
