My friend likes to tell this story about the time this squirrel committed suicide by jumping in front of his bike.

In turn my other friend tells the story about the time she threw a bunch of fruit that had been soaking in "jungle juice" for five days out on the lawn and watched a bunch of squirrels chomping on it where she made the observation "man those squirrels are gonna have such a hang over tomorrow."

Or they are going to jump in front of college students who are just trying to ride their bikes home from class.

Any way you cut it, bike riding is a hilarious mode of transportation, just not on the SDSU campus where you can't ride your bike. Oh you can wear impossibly high shoes, short skirts in the winter, multi-colored jackets with crazy logos that later you will realize are not that cute but you sure did think they were cute at the time, but you CANNOT ride a bike.

SDSU students are arguing that to "go more green" the campus needs to encourage bike riding. Campus officials are worried about those crazy biking students running in to people. Me, not so much.

We also like to tell this story about the time that my friend totally ran over a biker with her golf cart she was driving as part of the "be safe, get a ride from this golf cart instead of drinking and biking home." There she was cruising at a safe speed, signaling, slowing down for pedestrians when out of nowhere this biker smacks into the side of the cart and goes tumbling over it, landing with his legs wrapped around her head (no joke, hilarious). The biker was biking under the influence.

This is not the argument one should use if they really want the biking ban banned, just a story. I'm sure most bikers are responsible, helmet wearing, tuck your pants into your socks kinda folks.

Watch out squirrels.
