This is going to make me sound grumpy….

I promise I’m not one bit grumpy I’ve just been really annoyed by the following 2 things while traveling around seattle lately.

The first one is people riding their bicycles on the sidewalks. I could sit here and argue the fact that the streets make cyclists safer from turning vehicles and such…. or I could argue that there are bike lanes made specifically for bicycles that run all throughout this city and even trails made specifically for you… but most importantly, isn’t running a pedestrian off the sidewalk a parallel to you being afraid of a car doing that to you on the road? If you’re not comfortable enough on your bike to ride it down the street, travel a less busy street or stay home. Sidewalks are for people.

My second pet peeve admitedly has a gray area that the eye cannot nessecarily determine but I’ve noticed an increased amount of people request the lift on the bus for no other reason than they seem overweight and lazy. I’m sorry if you sincerely need it and I know there’s people out there that do… but these others are just slowing down the buses and making us all late.

Wow, I really do sound grumpy… again I promise I am not.
