the bad thing about compost

compost seems to get picked up a few days a week on polk street, and it's a bit of a sloppy process.
what's grosser than gross?
having to ride through the soggy compost sludge that occupies the bike lane. picturing/feeling it spraying all up my back. so gross!
i really don't think i can take it any longer, i'm going to contact the trash folks and see if there's anything that can be done.

oh, and i almost got doored the other day. i screamed. my heart stopped. i blindly swerved into the traffic lane to avoid my demise, luckily there wasn't anyone driving next to me. i rode half a block with one hand on my mouth and one hand on my heart before i realized i had no hands on my handlebars. car doors are scary. please please please remember to check for bikes before you exit on the road side!! thanks!
