It's gonna be a little 'ticklish' out there for a while, as the 'babies' get weaned off the gas pump teat; I imagine I'll see more idiots disrespecting my space by buzzing, honking, hollering and cussing me out (time to re-mount my 'defense').
Actually, though, I'm more concerned about a potential rise in 'bikejacking', when people of no good standing have to park their poseur pimp-wagons and pedal to their suddenly-inadequate jobs. We'll also see a spike in back child-support, and more deadbeat dads sitting in the graybar....
DM,
"Bikejacking" is something that I have to admit that while I've thought about the possibility that someone might stop me for my bike. But I hadn't considered it as becoming a possible "everyday" occurrence. I guess some of us will possibly be going to the box stores and buying one of their "cheap bikes" to ride as an everyday bike and have a little "vanity plate" that says "My Other Bike is a. . ."
