One teensie correction
In an otherwise great post, Amanda makes 2 small errors in 2 longish sentances:
For instance, I just had to make a quick run to the store and I took my bike instead of the truck, and as I whizzed past the cars sitting in traffic or waiting in line to get that space a little bit closer to the door, a couple people glared at me and the other bicyclists for our enviable ability to actually get a move on in holiday traffic.
Um, no. See, I lived in Davis for years. The reason motorists hate bicyclists is that bicyclists "drive" in the middle of the road. They have all the acceleration of an M1 Abrams tank, and still have the gall to use the same roadway as cars. Trust me, that glare I'm shooting you means "get off the road and onto the sidewalk"...
The other error is even worse:
so I have that much more money to spend on the organic food that actually tastes better than the other stuff.
Again, I lived in Davis. No, organic food does not taste better. It's smaller, gnarlier, and I have to use it right away for fear of it rotting. Make mine agribusiness!
Update:
Amanda emails to let me know that she was on the sidewalk. This makes her, in my experience, a rare bird indeed. I'll even give her the benefit of the doubt that she wasn't out running down pedestrians...
