Dear Drivers of North Vancouver,

In the interest of my safety as a pedestrian, cyclist, and fellow driver, I would request that you stop treating me as though I am completely invisible. Being run into while stopped in my car in the intersection was bad enough, but hitting me as I crossed at an actual crosswalk as a pedestrian was really, truly unnecessary. Also, it stings a little and while I am uninjured, it makes me get a bit freaked out.

Am I really that nondescript that it’s impossible to notice me? I have yet to be hit while biking to and from work daily, but I am starting to fear for my physical well-being.

In future, please try your best not to hit me.

Much Appreciated,

Jenny Lee Silver
