Earlier this week I saw a car turn in
front of me the wrong way on a one way street. Usually I do not know where the
horn is because I never use it. However, I found it and blew to no avail. She had
her phone in hand. I wonder if she were texting. When relating this to a
coworker, she brought up the idea of road rage if you honk at someone. This woman
seemed to pay no attention.
Today I was riding my bike to work for
a team meeting. This time an extended van type vehicle that might give rides to
others was coming towards me on the one way street that I was preparing to turn
onto. This time there was no horn to warn them of danger so I just watched them
go.
I got a little over three miles from
home when I met a couple on the bike trail who told me that the trail was
closed. “How will I get to Ely?” I wondered out loud.
The woman told me, “They let us walk
through.”
After consideration, I decided that I had
enough time to ride back home and switch to the car for my trip to the library.
I did not know what they were doing to the trail and I would have to cross that
spot again on the way home. I had seen the trail closed signs but ignored them
because I have seen the signs before and it meant nothing.
Maybe another day I can ride that far.
At least I got in a good six mile ride.
