I attended a meeting of the Seattle Crime Prevention Council tonight and as we were discussing more pressing matters like excess speed on our block leading to multiple accidents and at least one fatality a year since 2006, a gentleman in the back made a pronouncement about “all cyclists” being dirty, smelly, trash. You got to love generalizations… I bet someone on a bike really ticked this guy off and now he loathes ALL bike riders – making up a little story in his mind about how everyone who lowers themselves to peddle a two-wheeler is somehow beneath him.  Huh… I think I remember showering this morning and I have a feeling that the shirt I am currently wearing cost more than the man’s entire outfit – including his cheesy 10 carat nugget pinky ring. Apparently, bigots come in many forms…
