I see bikes.
I wish there was some way I could get Haley Joel Osment to say that phrase just like he says " I see dead people" in the movie The Sixth Sense.
I live in a town where people ride bikes all over the place. I see bikes .... everywhere.
Sometimes I see bikes in places they do not belong.
This is a picture taken through the windshield of my car when I found myself behind a gaggle of cyclists. This gaggle and I traveled the same road for far longer than I would have preferred as they dawdled in the part of the road where cars drive. I conferred with Webster on this, and had expected to have my ire validated by finding that the definition of "road" only talked about cars. I found the following:
road (noun) a : an open way for vehicles, persons, and animals
Eh-hem. Well .........
My only explanation is that Webster's definition is based on the historical use of the word road and not the practical use of the word road. Persons and animals have no place on the road. There are many squirrels who have learned that lesson the hard way.
I don't hate people on bicycles. In fact, some of my closest friends ride bicycles. I may someday be one of those people on a bike near a road. I hope that I remember how to share.
