Don’t Ride In The Door Prize Zone,
a haiku by everyday bicycle commuter Ethan Georgi
riding along and
A DOOR FLIES OPEN OH NO!
no door prize for me
The door prize zone is the area three feet to the left of cars parked on the right. When a car door opens, it opens into this space and it can kill you. I am not kidding. You might be thinking, oh, I can just swerve around it. If you do that, you are swerving into the traffic on your left. This is why I don’t ride in the door prize zone.
I do tend to call out “Door!” when I see one open.
