reving his engine, going to fast and close at least 4 times daily when I ride/commute
from <st1:City w:st="on">Medford</st1:City> to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Beverly</st1:place></st1:City>. There’s some real
trash behind the wheel out there. The good news is that gas prices are
going in the right direction. When they hit 12 to 15 bucks a gallon
the streets should be a bit more bike friendly. So hang in there, were a
3<sup>rd</sup> of the way there. I just pray the prices rise sooner than
later because I’m afraid one of these jerks is going ruin my life and
then my wife and child are in a bind without an income coming in. But
then again why should I feel sorry for myself when families are ruined world wide
just so these jerks can put fuel in these SUV’s at cheap prices. Hopefully
gas prices just price these jerks right off the road. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

getting killed sorta pisses me off. <br>
<br>
after work tonight i was riding home down harvard st. towards <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">brookline</st1:place></st1:City> village and this brand new SUV
decided to pull a bullshit left turn right at me. thank god i reacted as
quickly as i did as if i hadn't my consciousness would be on this fucker's
windshield, rather than in this email. anyway, during the rest of my ride home,
after pontificating the ways in which i could destroy this car with my u-lock,
i thought that the driver may have been a recent grad of brookline high, whose
parents had just bought him/her a brand new SUV (given current trends, it was
most likely a she) for graduation despite the fact that their son or daughter
have no idea how to drive. <br>
<br>
for safety's sake, let's just say that i'm right, and that everyone should be
horribly careful around new looking SUVs in and around <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">brookline</st1:place></st1:City>. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
