it's the excitement of getting gored
""In Toronto, bicycles with a wheel size of 24 inches or less are
allowed to ride on the sidewalk."" "While that is a convenience, it would be hard to go any appreciable distance at any appreciable speed on the sidewalk. Also, apart from the dangers to pedestrians, there is the risk of a car turning and striking the cyclist crossing in the cross-walk. Car drivers seem not to expect to find cyclists where pedestrians are suposed to be. Also, it occurs to me that whoever made that rule was assuming the smaller-wheeled bikes would be ridden by children, at low speeds and probably under supervision. I'm clipping along on my 20"-wheeld cycle at 15 to 20 MPH. That don't work on the sidewalk!" Me too! I like to ride out there with the bullies. It's fast and it's the excitement of getting gored anytime. Ole! |

""Me too! I like to ride out there with the bullies. It's fast and it's the excitement of getting gored anytime. Ole!"" "Quit tilting at windmills and take off that red cape! ("No capes!"- Edna Mode) You still riding that Speed SP ("Sancho Panza")?" No, now DonQuixote is riding a hybrid and a Trek F400. The latter seems particularly fitting to fight the bullies. It's most agile and easy to run with. The red cape I only use when I want to **** the stupid beast. Otherwise, I use my banana shirts. They say, "You Can Eat My Banana." Hope the bull eats banana. |
