Sneak attack

Seattle, WA
Thursday, October 25, 2007

So I was riding Saturday… and I was hit by a runner… A runner? Yes, a runner… You may say that if there was one person destined to be hit by a runner it would be me… but this time it was different. I had no “finger” in it, no “verbal confrontation” nothing… I was meeting up with some guys to go riding in front of a coffee shop, the seats were taken & we were about to go riding so I was on my bike with a foot down just sit’n there chatting about global warming and capitalism... just kidding. But really, not promoting violence in anyway… And wham I’m on the ground wondering what exactly just happened. I look back to see a runner hobbling away, like he’d just hit a cyclist. & it dawns on me that I’d just been hit by a runner… I went after him and he turns out to be like 65 years old, he looks over and says “what’re you doing on the sidewalk? There’s no where to run anymore because the cyclists are on all our trails and sidewalks…” uhh… hmm… stay off the roads, stay off the sidewalks, stay off the trails… back on the trainer for me…
