Tuesday morning I was driving to work. On my way to the parkway at 5am, I came upon 2 guys on roadbikes riding side by side on a busy road. One had a blinkie and one didn't. Initially I was going to just pass them but after I drove around them I felt the need to say something to these guys so I slowed up and waited for them.
I told the guys that I'm a cyclist and what they are doing is dangerous. I told them they should single up on a busy road and told the guy with no light that he needs a blinkie. I was prepared for them to say fuck you but was pleased to hear them say thank you. What was even more rewarding was to see these two guys this morning on my way to the parkway riding single file and both had a blinkie.
