SuicideGirl: Zippo

Zippo will kick internet sand into your virtual vagina!

Hopefully uploaded by tomorrow, Ridin' Dirty, by Wit and Zippo, our video entry for the June contest.

I would post more, but I'm saddened at the moment. I've just discovered that one of my fellow ADV's died this weekend. Adways was struck by a car while riding his motorcycle and killed instantly. He leaves behind a wife and son. No other information known. Other fellow ADVers know how great he was... he donated a nice sum of money to help with the last litter of of rescue puppies I had (who all needed serious medical treatment) and sent numerous pms offering to help in any way he could, even though he lived hundreds of miles away. He was an outstanding guy.

On top of that, several road riders were struck and killed by a drunk driver in Mexico during a road race.

And two fellow DFW cyclists were struck and killed by a drunk driver on Sunday.

So this is me BEGGING you people who drive cars and trucks... PLEASE keep your eyes open for cyclists and bikers. We have every right to be on the road, and we're probably enjoying ourselves more than you can know. Don't get upset and try to hurry us on just because we're not in a hubbub and rush of every day life like you are. Don't hang shit in your mirror so you can't see us, don't have a "few" and then drive home. LOOK for cyclists and bikers... we're a lot more predominant than you think.

People seriously need to not be driving while intoxicated. I've seen the results too many times, and it's almost always the innocent bystander/driver/bicyclist. Take care, Zippo.

Condolences.

When i'm riding on the road, i feel more in danger than when i'm attempting to bomb it down a 2 minute DH run. I've only been knocked off my bike once by a driver, but that's one too many times.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friends.

Grrr, i just got pushed over by a pickup driver making a right turn without a signal (you know who you are). After I brushed myself off he had the nerve to tell me to get the hell onto the pavement! I had no comment. My cupcakes --the reason I was on the road to begin with-- survived though, so I guess all is well. -g

"Since the bicycle makes little demand on material or energy resources, contributes little to pollution, makes a positive contribution to health and causes little death or injury, it can be regarded as the most benevolent of machines."
