The other day I posted "STOP signs should be treated like YIELD signs by cyclists" and no one commented. So maybe this will get your attention :)
The Legend of NonStop
A cyclist known as NonStop
was ticketed once by a cop.
but the rider appealed,
"It's only a YIELD
so why the superfluous STOP?"
The lawyer for NonStop revealed
that his "car" was also two-wheeled.
He admonished the cop,
"You yourself never STOP,"
and in fact view the sign as a YIELD."
Then NonStop stood up and cried,
"Please let the jury decide.
It won't take them long,
for I did nothing wrong,"
he said as they led him outside.
The deliberation was short.
Then the foreman announced to the court,
"I'm a cycling fan.
He's an innocent man.
A STOP shall mean YIELD in our sport."
Now, the verdict made car drivers mad,
and the cyclists, of course, were glad,
but NonStop kept going
with a smile just from knowing
he was riding as he always had.
