Brittni is Bothered.

If you are unfamiliar with this concept, 

refer to Jimmy Fallon

for Robert is Bothered.

Hilarious.

Any who, I'm bothered.

And I'll tell you why.

Students on bicycles bother me.

Not regular cyclists, 

because they know what they are doing. 

Students, and more specifically UA students

 are idiots when it comes to riding a bicycle around Tuscaloosa

and campus.

This morning, a girl rode her bike across the road

without acknowledging cars that we going

on GREEN, mind you, and then she turned and rode

in the perpendicular lane. 

She also had a coffee in her hand, 

so she was riding her bike with one hand.

Skilled in that? Yes. 

Skilled in rules of the road? NO!

Please excuse the crudity of this model...

it's not to scale... 

and it's terrible.

BUT, you get the idea.

For some reason, 

all UA students

have it in their heads

that no matter what type of

contraption they are or are 

not on, they are allowed to cross the street

whenever they please, despite a green light

or walk signal. 

It bothers me. 

Also, there's a hill down by the parking deck

near the Ferguson center

and bikers frequently bike down the hill

THROUGH the stop sign.

Not cool. 

Someone's going to get seriously hurt. 

Some dummy has already ridden 

their bike into my friend's car, 

who was stopped. 

Wow. 

I'm an advocate of registering all student bikes

on campus and making them take a written

test for bike rules. 

It could even be incorporated into the

common sense course that I would

love to teach. 

Credit for school, people. 

 Get on board with that, y'all.

Here's a small step to 

learning the rules of the road.
