I have only ever lived in Marin and Boulder so I'm clueless about what it's like to be a real minority on the road. I fully acknowledge that I take that for granted sometimes.<BR/><BR/>As for the lady in the picture...I was a little conflicted about that shot. She didn't completely represent the people I was talking about but the fact that she is riding in traffic with two kids in sketchy seats and no helmets was enough for me to throw her in the Donkey category. Sorry if that sounds harsh...but come on. <BR/><BR/>I know she's in Europe (where I understand they do things differently than in Amerricuh), but still. If someone was riding with kids like that in Boulder, they would probably get pulled over by the cops. <BR/><BR/>Or at least she would get yelled at by another group of housewives dragging their Crocs-wearing kids from yoga class to the coffee shop. And they would be far meaner than me.<BR/><BR/>How can you tell that she doesn't have a car? The Europe deal again? But even if she doesn't...couldn't she use the money saved on gas to buy some helmets? <BR/><BR/>By the way, I don't hate donkeys. I just wish they would put a bit more thought into some things. Don't call PETA on me.CaliRado Cyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228453234910383998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500968037344704527.post-67082507737584144492008-06-30T20:05:00.000-07:002008-06-30T20:05:00.000-07:00so the woman with two kids on the bike (who, it's ...so the woman with two kids on the bike (who, it's likely, doesn't own a car) is one of your donkeys? don't be mean . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500968037344704527.post-38990323575258543212008-06-29T21:31:00.000-07:002008-06-29T21:31:00.000-07:00In Kentucky, bike to work day was a great excuse f...In Kentucky, bike to work day was a great excuse for local news to switch to national coverage.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913807537529570559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500968037344704527.post-9704045976800001482008-06-26T15:39:00.000-07:002008-06-26T15:39:00.000-07:00I think I passed maybe 4 cyclists on the way to wo...I think I passed maybe 4 cyclists on the way to work today.<BR/><BR/>What happened people?<BR/><BR/>No donuts - no ride?<BR/><BR/>I rest my case.CaliRado Cyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228453234910383998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500968037344704527.post-44442715710043101042008-06-26T05:30:00.000-07:002008-06-26T05:30:00.000-07:00There wasn't even any good food at the stops yeste...There wasn't even any good food at the stops yesterday.
