Green-Smart? or Really Stupid?

Beedledy-bopping into Brookfield this morning, I notice 2 cars in the ditch on Springdale Road between Watertown Road and the Fox River.

Ugh.

Traffic's moving OK, but slowly.

So what appears on North Ave., but a BICYCLIST! The guy's a regular; he pedals his way to work and back every day. Good for him; he's obviously committed to the green revolution, and maybe his health, too.

But I think he should take a sanity test. When the roads are slick, that bicycle-frame doesn't provide a lot of protection from a car sliding out of control.

And, by the way, on the return trip there were THREE cars in the ditch on Springdale between the river and Watertown Road...
