Dear Driver,
I am a cyclist.
I improve my health by exercising regularly.
I support our local economy by stopping for interesting displays and sales instead of blindly driving by and through buying local parts and services instead of gasoline.
I save our tax dollars by using cheaper infrastructure and by lowering healthcare costs through preventative action.
I reduce our congestion by not sitting in traffic.
I clean our air by eliminating dirty exhaust.
I maintain our environment by demanding less space and emitting less pollution.
I increase our reputation by highlighting the livability of Seattle.
I passively advocate equal opportunity by actively promoting a cheaper, more accessible form of transit.
I relieve our stress by opting not to crowd onto overfull full buses.
I increase our ability to experience un-built environments because I demand little land use conversion.
I reduce your commute time because I do not make you sit in deadlock.
I reduce your transportation costs because I do not inflate demand.
I sometimes bend the rules and annoy you, but you sometimes bend the rules and annoy me.
We can live in harmony, and we must. Because cycling is here to stay.
I am a cyclist.
Please Mr. and Ms. Driver, show me some respect.
