Caminetto:
I've stopped riding my bike on the highways and streets because these damn suburban realtors are driving around with a cell phone in their ears closing deals. One of my neighbors who I specifically told to stop riding in our neighborhood (we have bike lanes) because I had been hit twice here, ignored me and was hit last Sunday going into a round-a-bout by some old woman with purple hair who was talking to her granddaughter on the cell phone. (My neighbor says that's what she told the policewoman.)
Meanwhile, in Texas (Austin, I believe), a woman who had ridden her bicycle all over the country and was, herself, about 55 years old, was killed 10 days ago by a guy on a cell phone who hit her with his side mirror while trying to pass at a high rate of speed.
Yeah, I hate cell phones, and as long as no one was hurt, major props to the guy. If I were around I'd post the guy's bail.
Oh, and cell phone service here in Central Florida sucks so badly someone needs to file a class action against the major carriers. Sprint is the pits....
Finally, for the money I pay for my wife's and daughter's cell phones I could buy a new racing bike every year. What a complete waste!!!
