Letters from the bike trail

[Catrin]

Dear cyclist who passed me on the road Sunday.

If you are going to pass me on the right please say something! My mirror is on my left bar, and I just plain didn't see you or hear you coming as I was watching a hawk on the other side of the road.. Thankfully I take surprises much better than I once did on the bike, but I almost choked on the water I was drinking from my Camelbak as you smoked me. The wave was nice though, thank you!

Dear city planners and sanitation department,

thank you for the nice new bike lane on this busy street but who's idea was it that the homeowners be required to place their huge garbage bins in said bike lane on trash pick up day!

just trying to stay alive
