Oh thats right it's not a bike lane it's a "why don't you just double park you car here lane". I love riding here but I also like riding here and causing a bit of justified trouble. I also like to ramble on and on. I guess I can boil it down to "use the force".
i often felt very jedi-like on my daily battles with cars and drivers and peds...maybe i was more sith-like, now that i think about it...i guess i jsut miss the excitement about riding in traffic. berkeley is pretty much completely boring. i need to ride in SF more often i guess...
