Dear Chumbucket driving the Toyota Sienna on Westbound Knott street at 37th this morning at around 8:15am with license plate HGMC. I���d like you to review the link below so you understand more clearly why a very large man in bright lime yellow fluorescent rain gear is sticking his left arm out at a broken elbow angle in the middle of the travel lane. Oh wait, that person with a dog (dachshund, a cutie) waiting patiently on the corner as three other cars go sailing past, not stopping, maybe that���s why this long time dedicated commuter was stopping? And you chose to go flying past in the oncoming lane. Yes, I know you���d been attempting to draft me for the last ten blocks: I���ll be the first to admit, I���m an awesomely wide butt to be behind on those blustery days on Sauvie, but you���re in a 6,000 lb vehicle so the efficiency charge is moot. So please read the below, it���s from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, they sometimes get it right.
For the rest of you poor besotten wretches out there, keep your feet dry, your bags on your bike, and Situational Awareness sharp.
