Snow biker
DECEMBER 26, 2008
Only in the Lower Mainland will you find someone stupid enough to think that "going green" rather than taking personal and public safety into consideration is the right thing to do.
Recently, while while driving on the Lougheed Highway, halfway between Mission and Maple Ridge, I encountered a cyclist commuting to work heading westbound in the middle of the lane.
This is a highway, mind you. People were being forced to follow someone on a bicycle down the highway at breakneck speeds of about two miles per hour.
There are so many things wrong and unsafe about this. On one of the most treacherous days of the year on B.C.'s highways, you have someone daft enough to think it's OK to ride their bicycle on a snowy icy highway.
Come on, man, take the bus -- or find a safer way to get to work.
You were putting yourself in an extremely dangerous situation, as well as all the other motorists around you.
But hey, you left no carbon footprint, right?
