To the cycling samaritan . . . .

To the cycling samaritan who stopped on the sidewalk of the Dunn Memorial Bridge yesterday, got off his bike, and used a piece of index card to diligently brush broken glass off the sidewalk: Thank you. What an amazing thing to do. Now I think I’m going to stick a piece of index card in my jersey pocket when I’m traveling across the river for exactly that purpose. (For some reason, and I’m not sure if it’s drivers or pedestrians, smashing bottles on the Dunn seems to be something of a sport. There is always glass on the walkway, and I’ve picked up a large number of flats there over the years.)
