Then there is always one that will wait, I SWEAR it's like the Geico commercial with the squirrels, and at the last second dart right in front of you! YES, I hate to say it, I'm an animal lover, so I'll take a HIT before I hurt a little furry.
I know there are folks who think of them as pests, but prairie dogs are adorable, like meerkats!

A MUT is shorthand for a multi-use trail (or path) where peds, cyclists, rollerbladers and the like mix it up.

As for pedicab, I'm certain that's not the correct term for what I'm referring to. My local rec area has these things they rent where there's a sort of cab built around a bike frame, like a surrey with pedals instead of horses. It seats two to four, with the front occupants pedaling their little hearts out to make the thing move forward at all. Seriously, I think I might go to the rental place sometime and offer to pump up all their tires and service all those creaky drive trains. Maybe I could earn community service points in advance of some potential future misdemeanor, which is bound to be the result of cycling road rage.
