February 28, 2012 Question Asked and Answered

While waiting for CB to pick me up for lunch today (what a lovely surprise, I might add, seeing my honey mid-day. Add to that a free meal, and I'm sold!) I noticed for the first time this yellow line on Mid Campus Drive.

I believe this lane is for bikes. I've never seen a bike in this bike lane. I wondered why.

I looked to the left, no bikes and no answer to my question.

I looked to the left and behold!, the answer was made clear to me.

The reason that there are no bikes in this bike lane is because....

apparently this bike lane is only for unicycles or bikes with one wheel and a pogo stick where the back wheel should be.

You can bet that I'm going to open the shades of my office windows and keep an eye out for activity in that very special bike lane.

You can also bet that if I see someone riding a unicycle/pogo stick in this bike lane (or any where to be perfectly honest and I am nothing if not perfectly honest) I will literally run out of my office, camera in hand! I'll post that darn picture immediately!

Now, if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath for either of those things. Oh, the unicycle/pogo stick might come down the bike lane. It's the "literally run out of my office" part that ain't gonna happen. Ever.

Me? Not running. Not a chance.
