Steph

Kyle

Steph:  So, Kyle, I’ve been riding my bike in to work quite a bit lately.

Kyle:  I noticed that. Are you having car problems?

Steph:  No. Not at all. My car’s working just fine, but the weather’s been so nice. It’s great.

Kyle:  Yeah. I’ve been thinking about riding my bike to work.

Steph:  Yeah. It’s totally fun. You just have to be careful when you’re out on the road.

Kyle:  Are you riding on bike lanes or on the sidewalk?

Steph:  Uh, it kind of depends. If there’s a bike lane, I’ll use it, but otherwise I use the sidewalk or I’ll just go out into traffic.

Kyle:  Right. Do you know the rules of the road? Left hand up to turn?

Steph:  Not really. I’m, kind of a menace on the, on the road.

Kyle:  Well maybe I’ll start riding my bike to work with you.

Steph:  That’s a good idea, ya know. It’s always nice to have a partner.

Kyle:  Alright.
