Like you said before, "every problem is an opportunity in disguise." This means that good things will come after you go through the bad.

All people on bikes should be entitled to safe, comfortable passage.<br /><br />When you say someone is "taking up more room than they need" what you really mean is "taking up more room than I think they need." As a skilled, former bike messenger, you may not understand how much space someone who is a little wobbly or carrying children needs to be safe. Maybe to you "cars that cut her off are simply obstacles that she has the deftness to go around" but to me they're physical threats that could leave my children without a father.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75273856420870674.post-8468231696302529842013-05-21T00:04:23.766-07:002013-05-21T00:04:23.766-07:00Congrats Rick.

I commented that I had a roommate in santa cruz that grew up in New Zealand. He and his family would eat artichokes, butter, and champagne for celebrations. All of us were from the bay area growing up eating artichokes regularly but we all understand. They are special. <br />COngrats to 19 years man. Glad youve become such a success. Hope you and the family are doing well -JohnJohn Cervetto https://www.blogger.com/profile/18104436874114258171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75273856420870674.post-25220381614355314062013-01-17T07:27:08.167-08:002013-01-17T07:27:08.167-08:00Thank you for sharing these thoughts, Rick!

I know like your blog discusses there is a bit of romanticism rapped in with my -this feeling of excitement. I do know the hard work and dedication it takes to ride and also make a living! I have been thinking a lot about courier work. I am really impressed that you have turned the hard work into a viable business. I have been riding around town since 2006 helping others. You may have seen me flying down the hill on Soquel Dr.. But then again their are so many of us. There is a bit of a thrill and comradary on the road if you've been riding awhile-don't cha think! <br />Ta ta,<br />windinmeatt.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75273856420870674.post-49035178382837107792010-08-16T22:21:07.032-07:002010-08-16T22:21:07.032-07:00In the midst of AutoWeek/Concours/Rolex traffic he...In the midst of AutoWeek/Concours/Rolex traffic here in Monterey County this past week, lane sharing was essential to move quickly through the streets and out of the car fumes.<br /><br />When I move to the front at a red light, I know it may be misunderstood by some, even though it's usually the safest thing to do. And my understanding is that although lane splitting/lane sharing is legal in California for bicycles and motorcycles, in the event of an injury, police and jurors may be biased against this practice.<br /><br />As usual, common sense in each individual situation--and being truly courteous and considerate of others you share the road with--wisely takes precedence over any law.<br /><br />Thanks for your good work, northern neighbors!Mari Lynchhttp://www.BicyclingMonterey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75273856420870674.post-9825700623830875252010-06-06T07:32:12.032-07:002010-06-06T07:32:12.032-07:00Hey Rich, fantastic article in the SC Sentinel thi...Hey Rich, fantastic article in the SC Sentinel this weekend!Yokota Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808661100114872654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75273856420870674.post-54907495276748071792010-06-04T09:02:02.213-07:002010-06-04T09:02:02.213-07:00Cher Bro!
