Last night, peak hour, Burke Rd north-bound.<\/p>\n
I ride up behind a woman riding with no lights and no helmet! At first I pass, thinking to myself “If you’re that stupid, to hell with ya!”.<\/p>\n
Stopped at an intersection I told her she needed lights on her bike. She explained that they were stolen today along with her helmet. She said she was stopping at Whitehorse Rd. and catching a tram home.<\/p>\n
I said I would ride behind her because I didn’t want to see a her killed! <\/p>\n
No doubt she thought I was a psycho (hey, most people do \ud83d\ude09 ), but I figure it’s better than leaving her to get squished.<\/p>\n
I leave her on the footpath to lock her bike and catch the tram as I turn towards home, thinking to myself “my good deed for the day, done”.<\/p>\n
Problem was I couldn’t help but think she might have been fibbing to me simply because she was busted without proper gear.<\/p>\n
There didn’t appear to be anywhere for a rear light as her seatpost was all the way down. I think I’ve been in the city too long – my faith in humans has been depleted I guess. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
Anyway, I hope she made it home safely, however she traveled and I hope she scores some new lights soon!<\/p>\n
The rest of the ride involved me busting a lung chasing a workmate in his car and an guy on a older racer. Ah, fun! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
