Editors, the Gauntlet,
I have been a bicycle commuter and advocate for 15 years. However, on Sept. 14 I was travelling through campus on foot. As I was walking along the sidewalk I looked up and saw a cyclist coming straight toward me. Since he was looking straight at me and we were the only two people on the sidewalk, I expected–quite reasonably, I think–that he would cycle around me. It became clear very quickly, however, that he was intentionally bearing down on me, trying to intimidate me and force me off his line of travel.
Not taking much pleasure in broken bones and contusions, I jumped out of the way, yelling, "What are you doing?" as he passed.
"Walk like you drive," he yelled back and disappeared around a bend.
After a moment of confusion, I realized this cyclist had a problem with me walking on the left side of the sidewalk.
I’m shocked that car-centricism has crept so deeply into a human mind. And how twisted must this guy’s mind be for him to intentionally risk injuring me because I, while walking, don’t pretend that my legs are a motor vehicle and the sidewalk a street? There is already a shocking disregard among some motorists in this city for pedestrians trying to cross streets at controlled intersections and crosswalks. But it is a seriously sick mind that would physically intimidate pedestrians into accepting car-driving techniques and highway traffic laws as the basic paradigm governing movement through pedestrian space.
It is already ridiculous and often quite dangerous that cyclists should be legally bound to conform to traffic laws that were written exclusively for motor vehicles, and which therefore show an appalling ignorance of the obvious differences between a bicycle and a car. But to expect pedestrians to walk on a sidewalk as if obligated under the Highway Traffic Act is nothing short of absolute lunacy.
I hope this guy manages to crawl out of his stupidity before he injures someone.

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could
add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like
this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly
enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

Howdy! I simply would like to offer you a huge thumbs up for the
excellent information you have right here on this post. I’ll be returning to your web
site for more soon.
It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d definitely donate to this outstanding blog!
I suppose for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and
adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to fresh
updates and will talk about this website with my Facebook group.
Talk soon!
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and
entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the
head. The issue is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy I stumbled across this in my hunt for something regarding
this.

Fantastic blog you have here but I was curious about if you knew
of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics talked about here?
I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get
opinions from other experienced individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Kudos! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15rW7pdw8SAdh4o27E0yajxcv8v_cQEIEnoWQJ56CiFU
