When the glass is half full you gotta call it half full. On the other hand if it's half full maybe we can plug the leak....<BR/><BR/>Tilting against the darwinian windmills of the clueless cagers, riders, walkers, dogs, cats, squirels and all other forms of animal life lacking situational awareness can be entertaining. Don't be discouraged when you realize that for everyone that evolves there are more braindead replacements readily available.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466551233649992250.post-58149673262613048142008-06-17T14:37:00.000-06:002008-06-17T14:37:00.000-06:00Can you say, Mountain Bike?

In fact, today, for the first time in 14 years, I am skipping the Durango "Tuesday Night World's" to go ride my mountain bike -this after another rider in Durango was hit by a car on Saturday and is in "bad shape" and my last ride a dump truck nearly killed us all (5 people had to crash into the ditch to avoid being hit). can't take teh roads anymore - though I still commute 3 times/week - scared to death the whole time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466551233649992250.post-46802208063825444982008-06-17T13:37:00.000-06:002008-06-17T13:37:00.000-06:00Grim and bleak...?

I thought it was a great post in it's raw state, but that said the suggestions from your colleauges did make a lot of sense.<BR/><BR/>I must admit I never really thought of all the others on the bike path as being quite as deadly as you suggest. Annoying in many ways yes, but they're just the same self absorbed folks we all deal with regularly. <BR/><BR/>Drivers on the other hand always are out to kill me, or at least I ride that way on the roads. <BR/><BR/>Anyways - stay safe!Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15400774544624205539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466551233649992250.post-66452124444467438622008-06-17T08:48:00.000-06:002008-06-17T08:48:00.000-06:00Good points, Maynard, which is unfortunate. I'm...Good points, Maynard, which is unfortunate. I'm glad to find your Blog after all these years of wondering what happened to you, even if it was to read an article on grim death (You can thank Patrick O'Grady for linking to your blog).<BR/><BR/>Grim and bleak does not equate to invalid. I think we have lowered the bar on vehicular operation to the point that we are way too vulnerable on the roads--not just bicyclists but as your Blog (and my stepfather's double knee replacement surgery) points out, motorcyclists, too. But with more people leaving their cars behind, perhaps we will acquire some allies. Maybe I'll even look for another 1980 Honda CX 500. I miss the one I sold when I moved to Honolulu.<BR/><BR/>I don't have the option of bike paths. Too few up in Northern New Mexico and those that exist don't go up into the lovely mountains where I ride. So I'll have to keep plugging away arguing for safer streets.Khalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866897914538110672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466551233649992250.post-80629704755261123592008-06-14T05:42:00.000-06:002008-06-14T05:42:00.000-06:00Brilliant blog post, Maynard.

Also, a blog is a good place to provide insight to the thinking process. Including the suggestions from friends (in this case) does that. Very interesting. Finally, a hint of hope and a teaser for the new piece. I'm looking forward to it.Ponderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042079750126434523noreply@blogger.com
