I Rock Fairfield on Two Wheels

Ok so here's a quick question to think about before you read this. Have you noticed how warm it has been out lately? I bet you went home for the long weekend and brought back some cold weather clothes. Unfortunately for you, its still real warm out. Catch my drift yet? The world is getting warmer because of all the CO2 fumes reeking from the mufflers of your all wheel drive, 8 cylinder sport utility vehicles; a.k.a house on wheels.
Now I'm not an environmentalist or anything but I want to know why I'm getting such weird looks from stuck up students when i zip past them on my 21, yeah thats right 2` speed Schwinn bike. Stop hating! My bike gets me anywhere i want to go no campus in under five minutes. It does wonders for my acing ankle, or leg if your Doctor Simon, by providing me with a low impact form of transportation. I can throw my books in my bag, strap my laptop around my back, or throw some stuff in my pockets and be anywhere i want to go before you think of some corny line to say to me when you see me unlocking it.
But the fun doesn't stop here. I take my bike all over the place. I take it to the bank, to CVS, and even to Stop and Shop when i need a few things. When i ride, i always have the right away, never have to adhere to traffic laws, and burn fat instead of the human money pool known as gasoline. You know what else is nice., I never have to do an extra lap around campus looking for a parking spot. My bike is always right outside my door, mere steps from the foot of my bed. And parking tickets, umm last time i checked they don't get put on bikes.
So maybe next time you see a red streak shooting around campus, you'll wave and let me go rather than point laugh and rip some exhaust in my face.
But honesty, I don't care what the hell you do, cause all that money you keep flushing down your gas tank, ill be laughing as i ride to the bank of America and watch my checking account rise like the gallons, and dollars you beg to slow down on the nearest gas pump.

Ride a bike, or take a hike bitch
