This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I cycle to work and have none of these problems because the bike route is pretty wide. Old railway converted into a bus route, no cars allowed but bikes can use it. The bus is every 15 mins so at most I have 1 bus overtake me along it.

It's dead straight and nothing crosses it all the way along. It's great. Overtaking is easy because there is loads of space.

This can't be anywhere in the US, can it?

That's nice. We don't have that here. We are in the street with peds and cars and buses and when they add 'bike specificic' stuff it get worse and worse. now you have interesections with three sets of signals, bike, walk, and car, and it's a clusterfuck as they are all on different timings.
