Whoever the skinny rider... on the skinny bike was on Wednesday, Jan 30th, on NW 231st Ave just s. of Cornell road... YOU ARE INSANE!
It was dawn-dark and you had no lights or reflectors and I only saw you due to a contrast from the lighter building behind you. You were no more than the dark silouete.
I was turning at left onto Cherry Lane before I got to you (you were stopped/standing at the NE-corner of Cherry and 231st), but the fact that I could not (not didn't- Couldn't!) see you makes me provide this warning and hopefully some discussion along the way.
Then again, you may well be the same rider I told that you were invisible at the stop sign one evening at dusk on an earlier encounter and you just snarled and rode on. If you have a death wish, I suggest you carry out your intentions in a different manner.
I'm a rider, I watch for cyclist and respect their space, please help me to keep you safe; use a light and some reflectors for pete's sake!
