First off, I have never even bothered to consider the possibility that a bicycle is any match for a car 1 know the bicycle doesn't have a chance ? that's what makes it so much fun! I have thirteen wins, no losses, and one tie for an openseason record of 13-0-1. HecK, it I nad a "transfer truck" I would liave an undefeated record of fourteen victories. Until recently, I hadn't considered touring West Columbia. But now that you mention it, I'll start looking for bicycles there. Look for me. I am the driver of a sports car with two bumper stickers. The rear sticker reads: FVi fr/nwn iwjr-ti HIM UfllUI U filled with To the Editor: Intramurals is a joke. In the fou intramurals, there has never beei O Kl auuiiuctiu.

' ~ Letters cyclist maimer[ rej >esn't have 4,I DON'T BRAKE FOR BICYCLES, THEY BREAK FOR ME!" The sticker on my front bumper reads: "I .WOULD RATHER BREAK FOUR BICYCLES THAN BRAKE FOR BICYCLES." I do follow people's examples. I happen to think that Hitler, Berkowitz, and Manson were great men. I also don't happen to think that I am selfish. I don't pick on just one bicyclist, I go for them all! The only place I'll be locked up is in my car, in which I lock my doors and buckle up for safety. As for being labeled a "psychopathic killer," I am insulted by the use of the term "psychopath." I may not be playing with a full deck, but I am not a "psycho." I do care for human life ? mine! And as for my actions being considered a "serious problem," they aren't; I il program problems ir years I have been involved with n a time when problems were so mpire problem plaguing this year's i three softball games this year, and jmpire at all, and in the third game mpire was unaware of the rules and re were co-rec softball games.

If you really wish to "help" me, you can do one of two things. Either wear dark clothing at night, or send a certified check (no cash or stamps please) to me in care of the Gamecock. Seriously, I don't see why there's a big fuss over my actions. More than 22,000 people die each year due to drunk driving, and thousands of deer and other innocent furry critters are slaughtered ofi our highways each year (whether they are in season or not). There are many more serious - issues at hand here. So what's a few bicycles?
