If I Owned the Road
Recently I found myself in this situation:
And I wished I could show this dude what would happen if I really did own the road. Things would be very different.
I wouldn’t have to take the lane ever again. People would have their roads back, and they’d be safer because…
Bad behavior wouldn’t be tolerated.
And parking wouldn’t be so free and flowing.
And that’s just the beginning.
No, drivers don’t realize how easy they have it. But, how about we make it a little easier for people?
As someone who gets around on foot or transit, I greatly appreciate someone pointing out how privileged cars and their drivers are in cities! Thanks for all the great thoughts.
Just found your blog and wanted to say I love it!
I hear you! A fellow biker friend and I have discussed wearing t-shirts saying “you own a car, not the road” when we’re out biking.
