Surviving Urban Jungle

It's a jungle alright.

If you are a the reptile thingy from the Telus commercial, you know what colour you wanna be on the road at night, right?
Black, may be?
Well, you will get squashed. I would choose fluorescent yellow.

A few hours ago, I spotted an black man, on his bike, 5 car lengths in front of my car. Nothing special, right?

How about A black man, in black shirt, black pants, black shoes, on black bike with NO reflective badges, NO lights in my lane heading towards me in the WRONG side of the road, and I am the first car of a long line of cars all doing about 60km/h on a 4 lane main road with not much street light?

I have nothing against black people, or any other race for that matter. What beats me is why they seem to like to wear dark clothes? In this urban jungle, especially in cities, the lions are cars. Many of them are blind lions too. Idiotic drivers are every where.

Do yourself a favour, wear light clothes or even reflective ones. If you willing to die for fashion, then at least smile, would you? Everybody's teeth are white.
