Bikes are Vehicles Too

Attention all motorists: bicycles are vehicles. If one is stopped at a red light going straight on a one-lane road, there is a car in the left-hand turning lane and you are trying to turn right, please take a deep breath and wait for the light to turn green. And then please don't get mad at me when I pick up my bike and get out of your way so that you can squeeze by me to turn right because I can tell you are about to trounce me. Would you ask a car to move over that was waiting to go straight?

Also, just wanted to announce that I've officially become a real girl. What does that mean? It means I finally ventured to The Quilted Bear, dragging my feet, but desperate to find the PERFECT draw-knobs for my dresser. The draw knob desire was the first step to my becoming a real girl and The Quilted Bear stop was the second. Then I truly entered the real-girl world when I thoroughly enjoyed myself and had to stop looking at anything besides the drawer pulls for fear of going out-of-control on my budget. Then I borrowed an electric sawer and painted my soon-to-be-drawer-pull-adorned dresser, so I was a real girl and a tough cookie all in one shot. Don't judge if you see me haughtily brushing the saw-dust off my shoulder. :)
