He's king
CSUF sidewalks
John Welsh
Getting around campus on a
bike is a constant here at CSUF.
Today, though, it seems like
cyclists are not taking their lives,
or the lives of pedestrians, very
seriously. Too often, the Free
Speech Area and surrounding
concrete walkways on this
campus are swarmed with speed
demons, on two-wheelers.
Through an intense search. The
Dairy Co llegian found one such
dangerous cyclist that we felt
could explain why he. and others
like him. continue to live
precariously upon the campus
crossways.
~ He agreed to talk to us, though
we had to pay him three Snickers
and a bottle of Vittel water.
I. John Welsh, was the lucky
soul to interview this madman.
who strangely called him self Joe
Mountain Biker. I met him in
front ofthe North Gym. ..
JW: Sir. please introduce 4 r-
yc u rself to our faithful readers. )
Cyclist: I am Joe Mountain
Biker. Upon my two-wheel
contraption I am the king of the
concrete campus crosswalks. No

JW: Are you trying to tell us
that no one can match your

JMB: Damn straight.
JW: How can you say you're the
best?
JMB: Why don't you stop asking
stupid questions and Just get on
my bike? Ill let irrJo the talking
■forme.
JW: I'm not sure I should do
this. 1 mean. 1 don't think It's in
my contract.
JMB: C'mon. Hop on. It's safe
— as long as no Idiots get In my
way. Hehheh.
JW: Where are you golngno take
us?
JMB: Well. 1 mkinda hungry.
Let's ride over to the Camay
Store. You owe me some
Snickers, arryway.
JW: Tell me something.
Shouldn't we be wearing helmets
at the speed we're traveling?
JMB: Hell no. Shdbt. we're only
going 30. maybe 35 miles per .
hour. Heck, that's slow in my
book.
JW: But there's too much
student traffic right now. Surely,
we're going to hit someone!,.
JMB: Wont be the first time. .
JW: Were going to crash. Cant
you slowdown?
JMB: Whatdyasay? I'm
having trouble hearing you. Hey.

C'mor.lady. only one warning!
JW: She has the right of way.
- JMB: What's that? Still can't
hear you.
JW: You Just sldeswiped that
elderly woman! She looks like
she':; hurt! You may have
dislocated her shoulder!
JMB: Probably faking it. They
do that sometimes.
JW: Dont you know that these
pedestrians have sidewalk rights,
too?
JMB: Hey. as far as I'm
concerned, those folks walking
on the crossways while Im on the
warpath... Well, they're taking
quite a risk.
JW: I think we better slow down
now. We're coming up to the Free
Speech Area mighty fast. In fact.
weVe got to get off and walk the
bike through the quad.
JMB: Where's the signs that say
that? I can't see them. Heh heh.
JW: By the way, I'm sure our
readers would like to know If _f ,
you've ever crashed.
JMB: Heckno. Well, not
counting the time when Iran Into
the fountain. That time dont
count. A campus police car got in

JW: Well, not counting your
fountain fling, have you had any
near misses?
