Crosstown Traffic

I saw something pretty amusing today.
I was driving down one of the main parkways on town on the way to my Guita's house when I saw a gentleman wearing full cycling attire (spandex bike shorts & shirt, bike gloves, helmet, & glasses) riding down the sidewalk to my right. While one might look at him in his fine attire & nice road bike and assume that he was an experienced bicyclist, I was not fooled for three reasons:

-he was riding on the sidewalk like an 8 year old child who can't cross the street without his/her mother present, obviously not aware that he and his vehicle belong on the road and in the bike lanes .

-he was riding against the flow of traffic like a pedestrian might, oblivious to the fact that he, on his quick moving velo, had increased closing speed and reduced reaction time to the oncoming traffic when compared to a slow moving pedestrian.

And (this is what I got the biggest kick out of)
-his bike was equipped with some intense looking rear view mirrors!
I imagine those did a great job of helping him spot fast approaching pedestrians looking to pass him!
