Somehow, I wrote a blog post on my site that captured a bit of everything.  I figure that in some ways, everyone can relate, and in some ways, everyone may be offended.

It is what it is.

Hola OlyBlog posse,

Is the US superior to other nations or not?

Any thoughts on that?

Hello All, while taking an espresso at the Cafe Vita, I picked-up an copy of the "Bicycle Paper" Winter 2007, and read the editorial on pg. 11 by Maynard Hershon, "Are They America?"...I just have to say >wow<.

I'd like to quote the editorial a bit to stimulate some thoughts and conversation, and also in memory of those who have lost their lives on bicycles in Thurston County this year. Please share the road in 2008 and let us all work towards zero fatalities amongst pedestrians and bicyclists in the South Sound for 2008.

From the editorial:

"If a driver uses force or the threat of force to intimidate cyclists, what is he or she but a terrorist?"

--terrorist, no; but an inconsiderate driver, "yes".

I'm frightened by inconsiderate drivers, but not terrorized (yet). I'm curious if anyone on the OlyBlog has ever felt terrified while bicycling, and/or has anyone been frightened/terrified by bicyclists?

any thoughts?
