Scary

On Saturday night Ryan, Fiona, and I left Amy's and Alex's apartment. We were riding our bikes and Fiona was in her car seat strapped into a trailer behind Ryan's bike. As we rode out in the righthand lane a car made a right turn into the lefthand lane. Except the SUV didn't go into the left lane, she drove into the right lane and stayed there.

Wow. I'm sorry, Mistie. I'm really glad it turned out OK.

Glad you guys are ok. People can be stupid and inconsiderate, especially when they get in their vehicles. I agree with erin, cities should be more bike friendly. That's on the things I loved about Lincoln, tons of bike trails.

I also get upset when I see bike riders behaving like jack asses. You guys are giving all of us a bad name and making drivers think they have an excuse for running us over!

I find that the more I behave like a car, the more cars have to treat me like a car.

Of course, that doesn't save you from oblivious idiots. I'm glad you guys are okay!

Yeah, I think this experience taught me that, just like in a car, I have to be ready for the oblivious idiots since I am not one. It also taught me how to keep Ryan from beating someone.

OK, so I'm like a month late in reading this, but I'm so glad you guys weren't hurt!
