The human insects: Calling for a paradigm shift!
Seattle — I wish I had a photo of this man for this article — definitely swarthy and hairy of arms. Yesterday when I rolled into the crossing-zone (with blinking lights & big yellow crossing-zone signs on either side of it on Jackson and 23rd Ave. — outside the Walgreens — this motorist man waves his arms at me like I’m a giant insect flying into his motorized metallic path. And he does not stop, in the crosswalk — aka the crossing safe-zone.
Yepp, I reckon I’m a giant Dragonfly fairy face here to say:
BIKES with folks riding them are NOT IN THE WAY. We are as BIG AS THE MECHANIZED-VEHICLES in our own way, get it? — And we are leading the way to save the planet, and deserve some respect and space in the road. Without all the fuss.
Let’s hype it up. Peace.
