Can I Interest You in the Sidewalk?

Today a friend at work said she passed me on her drive home. I thanked her for not taking the opportunity to run over me.

She described that she was in a short line of cars that were trying to figure out how to pass me. This particular road is two lanes with on street parallel parking. It’s busy with college students. I often take up much of the lane to avoid getting doored by a student.

She said she was grumpy until she realized it was me. And then she asked…

“Why don’t you ride on the sidewalk?”
