You know. Out where there are no sidewalks, no bike racks, nothing but parking lots, 40+ mph streets, car dealerships and “unique” restaurants with names like “Salsasitas.” Where the site of a bicycle furrows brows with confusion. Yeah where millions of Americans live.
This morning I needed to ride out into just such an area, to close my cable Internet account and return their modem. The closest location to do so was located in a grocery store, where, unsurprisingly there are no bike racks. I wheel it right on in the store and to the cable company’s kiosk. After asking what it was–my bike–I’m told i can’t bring my bike into a kiosk to return a modem. “Why not?” was met with a blank stare. Moving on then: tainted with scorn, the clerk closed my Internet account and took back my modem like I needed. Have a nice day, I’ll take some more “city” with my coffee thanks!
