Adopt your bike route
Seriously, I have gotten three flats in the past two weeks. I am starting to get annoyed. I am also starting to get into gear, my man friend, Matt, and I were talking about adopting the commonly used bike route near my house and cleaning it up on a weekly basis. Said path is the concrete trail that travels under I-35 on 4th street. I need to just give it up already and cruise on Cesar Chavez or 6th St already, but I am stubborn. This path is ALWAYS riddled with glass from the locksmith, the winos loitering under the highway, the disrespectful drunk drivers throwing beer bottles out of their windows while cruising 4th street on the weekend looking for parties and/or parking spots (I have seen it with my own two eyes!).
Regardless of where it comes from, I cannot control the actions of others afterall, it is there. It is a nuisance. It must be contained and cleaned up. Matt and I are going to get a big ol' broom and sweep the street once a week at first and see what impact that has on the rideability of the path.
I hope to effect other cyclists and catalyze similar action in yer neck of the woods. If you, loyal cyclist and fellow earth lover, have a common route that is littered and makes your commute dangerous and hazardous, take it upon yourself to create the solution! Make it a social event with your pals, host a potluck brunch and have people bring a broom and some gloves and trash receptacles as well as a dish. Eat first, then clean or visa versa. What fun!
We are already grassroots activists by choosing human power transport over gasoline guzzling. Why not take one more small step towards a cleaner environment?! Cheers to you all!
Broom at the ready, it is time to get swept away on this beautiful day!
Love to all,
Maureen
