I have realized how incredibly spoiled Durango, Co made me the four summers I lived there. There is a great deal of bicycle traffic there, yet it never bothered me. Bikers knew their place in the flow of traffic and were actually an enjoyable part of life to me. I was never annoyed or frustrated by bicyclists in Colorado, Waco is an entirely different story.

About a week ago the student body moved back into this complex city and while I love the University, I cannot stand ignorant bikers. So many of these bicyclists haven’t even gotten on a bike since they were in middle school and have now forgotten the rules of the road. They act as though they are entirely invincible and put themselves in almost constant danger. They don’t stop at intersections and they ride against the flow of traffic while talking on their fancy new iPhones.

What frustrates me most is that they are giving a bad name to bicyclists everywhere. These ignorant cyclists are turning the driving public against a great form of transportation and it frustrates me to no end… I look forward to the day I once again live in a bike literate town. In the meantime I will spend my days looking out for 19 year old students on their Wal-Mart junkers.
