Things you wish you could say

I suppose it pales in comparison to the guy I saw jogging with a baby stroller in the bike lane.

I have actually seen that quite often, people jogging with baby strollers pushing them. If not the bike lane then where for them? Parking lots? or maybe put the baby on a tread mill wth a net at the back for when the toddler finally tires

Sidewalk?

Sidewalk?

Good suggestion but there are not always sidewalks around.
I agree, taking a stroller in traffic is kind of crazy, especially with the attention diverted drivers we have today.

On that though, and granted, I am not a marathon runner, but how tiring is that? I mean how long before that wears YOU OUT, pushing a stroller like that?

Some kinds of strollers are easy to push-- they use big wheels like a bicycle.

But even if they were hard to push, that may be the point: it's a way for the adult to get exercise, without having to carry the child or arrange a babysitter.

Except that bicycles are vehicles, and therefore subject to the same laws, including which side of the road to be on

Down here that translates to You have to give them the right of way and the bikes can break any law when it's convenient.

Well they can break the laws, but they will find the laws of physics... especially Chapter II, Paragraph C, The Law of Gross Tonnage, a bit of a bumpy ride if they decide to challenge that one

When I wear undershorts, I do not wear boxers.

Nabiki's 2nd rule of combat. Never get into a fight with anything that is more than double your mass.

It always scares the snot out of me as a driver when a bicycle comes speeding toward me in my lane. I am not looking for something to moving fast toward me on my right! Doesn't he know he is supposed to be travelling WITH traffic, since he is a wheeled vehicle? Only pedestrians are to be facing traffic. Laws are written for everyone's safety, and everyone should be following the same rules.
