re: #128 ckkatz

I do think that habits with glasses (such as reaching to adjust them) are a universal and shared experience.

So sorry to hear about you getting hit by a car and suffering injury. About 15 years ago a lady I was dating wanted to get into bike riding. So I got a bike. Shortly thereafter she found a love interest that fit her better. (Both really nice folks. I wish them well.)

Shortly after that, I decided that trying to ride a bicycle in the Washington DC metro area had more risks than I wanted to take on. (Like the sweet little old lady who stood on one side of the bike path while she let her leashed puppies wander over to the other side.)

That bicycle is currently gathering dust in my garage.

I was a pedestrian when I was hit. That said, I certainly understand a reluctance to share pavement with giant hunks of machinery under uncertain control. When we moved from NM to OR 2 years ago, I thought the drivers were much nicer here. That’s worn off, mostly. One of the largest threats to cyclists here are the crazy cyclists.
