Dear Drivers of Portland, OR,

When I am walking my bike, I am a pedestrian, please don't drive by me really fast when I'm trying to cross the street because it's scary and I would prefer not to die. And I know that I look like an annoying cyclist but all I want to do is wheel my weirdly squeaky-braked bike across safely to other side of the street without waiting a year. I know it was Friday afternoon and you all wanted to go home, but I also wanted to get to the post office and go have lunch, damnit.

I'm also sorry that I suck and am super scared of you all when I cross 21st and 23rd. You are scary and go fast. But also you are mostly really nice and stop for me and respect me like a sharer of the road.

P.S. Thanks for not stealing my bike when I left it only U locked to a pole. Peace.
