on bikes

the other day i saw a guy wearing black riding a black bike at night without a helmet. with one hand he was scratching himself and with the other he was talking on a cell phone.

i've been thinking of getting a bike and saw what looked like a decent one on craigslist with a very low price, but they were short on details. so i sent an email asking about the brand, the year it was made, the number of speeds, basic questions that somebody buying the bike really would have to know, you know? the response: "Go to hell with your questions!!, Did I mnetion in my ad that i'm willing to answer a bunch of dumb questions, No i did not. Email someone else next time please."

the other day i was getting a ride home and we passed two people riding at night without reflectors or lights or helmets and wearing dark clothes. we remarked on their stupidity and passed them and when i was dropped off i was on the driver's side, and we noted they were coming so i only started to open my door slowly and stopped, and the guy shouted profanities out me, telling me to watch where i was opening the door. he's not improving my opinion of bikers. if i weren't watching where i was going, he would have gotten a door prize, and if i didn't know he existed, it would have been impossible to see him even if i were taking a cursory glance at the road. nice job, ramrod.
