Yeeeee-haaaaw, I’m like the Lone Ranger except instead of Silver I have the Lady Laser. And instead of being cool I’m just a knob with her jeans tucked into her husband’s sport socks. But all this leading up to the confirmation that yes, the rumours are true, I rode my bike to work today. I took major streets the whole way and didn’t get hit by a single car. I did get passed by a few disdainful co-bikers who were going waaaaay faster than I was. They were all, “ding ding” on their bells before they pulled out and flew past me. I’ll have to save up for a bell in case, one day, I reach a speed high enough to pass someone. Maybe one of those ancient Chinese ladies biking around pulling a trailer full of garbage.
You are soo brave! I am the worst bike rider ever, we got bikes over here in an effort to get healthy and on my first trip out I knocked a mirror off of a woman’s car….WITH HER IN IT! she wasn’t too happy (but to be fair I really only popped it all the way backwards so we pulled it forward and it was fixed)….anyway, I haven’t touched the bike since.
Congrats! I rode my bike to work once…and well, i have yet to ride it agin.
anyhooo, thought you’d like to know it’s the law in the t.dot for all bikes to have bells! i actually know someone who got a ticket for not having one in their bike.
