Pigdump's rules of the road
Part 1: "Oh it's a mighty conundrum!"
by Trish Thornton
 Now before someone gets confused or hurt or worse, let me start with a full legal disclaimer:
I am a driver, a pedestrian, a public transit passenger and a cyclist. In my day-to-day of getting there from here, I don't want to flatten anyone, nor do I want to be flattened. I do whatever I can to achieve that end. I'm not bashing cars and I'm not advocating bicycles. Cool? Cool.
That said, I must be crazy. Anyone who commutes by bike or roller blades in the biggest city in Upper Canada should probably be slapped with a dumb-ass tax. I mean face it, drivers don't think cyclists should be on the road, pedestrians don't think cyclists should be on the sidewalk, and cyclists agree. Huh?
Oh it's a mighty conundrum! But since the people who run the biggest city in Upper Canada don't think it's important to fix this kerfuffle, deal with this problem, solve this riddle, mop up this mess, pop this pimple, strategize a solution, we at Pigdump will try to give you darling and devoted visitors some tips, some guidelines, a safety checklist, a survival kit, a veritable lifeboat on the Hogtown streets of destruction. And we'll do just that starting tomorrow. Thanks and good luck.
