Do you know why nobody reports on people walking into oncoming traffic in Winnipeg? Because it's not news.
I suppose I could have linked to something like this (fun fact: jaywalking is completely legal in Winnipeg!), but really, hop in a car and drive up Salter once or twice and I think you'll find my thesis statement a defensible one.
I ride my bike everyday, year-round, on the road (obeying all traffic laws). I stopped counting how many times I've been hit by a car after 7. 15 times maybe? Luckily I have only had to go to the hospital to be put back together 3 times. Now I carry a large metal pipe tied around my wrist. Any car that comes within hands reach gets a taste of the pipe! A car is a weapon... now I am a weapon! Just making things a little more fair on the road. Stay outta my way!
Salter eh? I actually never seem to almost hit people on Salter. Main? You bet - from Selkirk to Higgins it's like a giant game of frogger. Selkirk Ave., anywhere near the Merch? Don't even get me started.
What? Where's the citation?

ReplyDeleteWell, there's your problem. I don't obey all the traffic laws and haven't been hit once.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ryan! That made me think.
