ficus vs. bike us

yesterday, driving down a fairly busy 4 lane (each side) road my eye was caught by a man riding a 10-speed down the sidewalk, steering with left hand and holding a small tree in the right hand. the tree was not potted, stood 5 feet tall and still had dirt and roots attached to trunk. also to mention, no houses along or off this road.

by the way, do you distinguish a road as a whole or one side? for instance if it was 4 lanes on one side and 4 lanes on the other…4 lane road or 8 lane road? Most would say 8 lane road. If this is the standard rule and logic then what happens when you have 2 lanes on one side and 1 lane on the other…3 lane road? cause some people might think a 3 lane road is a road with 1 and a half lanes on each side and they might want to travel down that road more often because they have a lane-closeness-phobia and would like the excess room. do you think there is such a phobia as lane-closeness? do they have meetings every week and none of them make it there because they can’t get out of their neighborhoods and onto an 8 lane highway(6 lanes on one side, 2 on the other)? i think al gore should back the lane-closenessaphobics…make them a website and a memoir movie to be played on Lifetime: television for women with Meredith Baxter Bernie starring opposite Kirk Cameron.
