I was taking my bike for a ride the other day after work. I was headed to Red Caboose park, to sit under my favorite tree and think about my dissertation proposal. As I’m riding down Sawyer Brown Rd., a one lane street with no shoulder, a burgundy Dodge Stratus approached from behind. As they pulled beside me, a lady sitting in the passenger seat yells out, “SHOW OFF LIKE THAT AND YOU’LL GET HIT QUICK!” I was a bit dumbfounded, as I didn’t do anything that would cause someone to yell at me. The car then turned off the road, onto the same road I was heading towards. It then sped out of my sight. I continued pedaling, wondering what was that all about. I then reached the red light to cross over Hwy 70 and I see the same car stopped at the red light. There were 3 cars ahead of me stopped at the light, so I approached on the right side of the cars. As I was approaching, the light turned green so I began to cross the street. At that time, this same lady yells out of the car, “FALL! FALL!” I am again bewildered. I couldn’t believe that this lady was wishing for me to fall. You would think that with gas prices being $4/gallon and obesity on the rise that this lady would be cheering me on. She totally ruined my trip to the park.
