Roll Your Own Bike Lane
We've seen a lot of dangerous places in Seattle to ride a bike (Dexter, 15th, the Burke-Gilman) and at each of those we've either come close to clipping bikes with our car or nearly rode straight over them with our bus. There's only one place in the city that Seattlest can never remember a near miss with a bicycle, or ever even considered that someone on a bike might be a potential road hazard we'd have to deal with. Other cars, potholes, the too-close-for-comfort guard rails, the fantastic view of the Olympics, cataclysmic seismic activity: those we've successfully navigated on this route, but never a dude on a bike. Certainly never a peloton of death-defiers in the middle of the night, whooping it up and mugging for the camera...

Best part of this is the dude wasn't just riding there, he was riding with one hand and staring into a view finder.

Jesus, and people think I'm foolish for riding my bike off rocks in the woods. (Confidential to Mark: he's likely wearing a helmet cam.)

Why... why... why would you do this? These people have a death wish.

No cyclists were harmed in the making of this film.
That's too bad.
Idiots.

Subverting the dominant paradigm? Seriously people, what the fuck does that even mean? Man, I just hate that phrase with the heat of a thousand suns.
But back on topic: JFurdell? I used to date a guy in .83 - they were probably drunk. They get drunk and ride bikes. That's what they do. They're name comes from the fact that they rode .83 miles before stopping at a bar on their inaugural ride.
