PSA for bikers in all black

Dear lady on the bike,

Kudos on your healthy lifestyle. Not many people have the dedication to be riding their bike to whatever destination they may need to get to when its raining and 230am. But you, clearly are superior to them.

However, I just want to inform you of one little thing. You are incredibly lucky I didn't kill you tonight. And if I had done so, no one would hold me liable. Because you see, you're an idiot.

Only an idiot would 1) wear entirely black clothing, 2) including a solid black helmet, 3) while riding a black bike, 4) that doesn't have any lights or reflective striping, 5) in the middle of the night, 6) when it is raining and foggy and 7) run a red light without even slowing down, 8) cutting in front of an ambulance with it's emergency lights on.

Not only is that an incredibly idiotic combination of life choices, a good portion of them are illegal. (I mean, what did you do, pry off the little reflector thingy that's on the back of every bike I've ever seen??) However, I'm very glad I didn't hit you and kill you. I feel very lucky. Because ambulances are known for their precision stopping, especially in the rain. (Siiiike.) And I really don't want to kill anyone.

Good luck next time.

xoxo,

A
