I think it directly relates to what I am trying to articulate.<br /><br />"The main thing is the YOU beneath the clothes and skin--the ability to do, the will to conquer, the determination to understand and know this great, wonderful, curious world.” -excerpt from a W.E.B. Du Bois letter to his 14-year-old daughterMistiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645156690478908028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858227074425060214.post-56523236308276494102013-02-21T18:39:03.024-08:002013-02-21T18:39:03.024-08:00This is an issue with biking for me.

It's important for young people to see that these spaces and activities are for everyone.

He and I have a tradition of being brutally honest with each other so I believe him when he said, "I think good for them. They are out there doing something." So now I pretend that's what everyone thinks because if one hot fit guy thinks that, why shouldn't they all?<br /><br />Keep running. It's not about them anyway.Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07567514319378970153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858227074425060214.post-74099452993069418552013-02-21T08:39:49.336-08:002013-02-21T08:39:49.336-08:00I know there's not a magical fix for this.

If I'm going to be safe while biking, I have to be assertive. I have to demand my space. I hope running is like that for you.amywatkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535646662412361488noreply@blogger.com
