Let me say there are allot of things brewing and life has its moments for all kinds of reasons. However today on my drive home it was kicked up yet another notch as traffic was delayed and routed into another lane as a motorcyclist had crashed into a minivan. Is this my load to bear or problem to solve? No not at all. Does it make me think about me and my place in line? Yes, it really does!
Curse me and my details of what I looked for and saw as I gawked, but trust me, you don't want it.
As I've come to know most of you, most are not abusing the power, speed, and ability the bike beneath you can deliver and most are pretty forthright in your intentions. None of us appear to be plotting our last ride "into our final sunset" or are we?
From this I leave you this thought; think about smarter ways to ride. Think about your safety and what you can take responsibility for to reduce the opportunities you leave others to harm you! Make it mission to observe your route and how you can stay out of in harms way but NOT invisible. Most of us can modify our route to reduce the odds of us being a sitting duck.
I can not hide from the fact that I have my own issues that need attention. However I'd much rather go down from my own hand than be taken out by someone else's. From this I'm taking every step I can to not be a statistic from the actions of another. I've changed my commuter route, changed my schedule, and I try to adapt to the ever changing "distracted driver" by being noticed or getting out of harms way ASAP!
So, give it some thought and come up with solutions to keep you safe!
