How panhandlers are different
I'm just guessing.
I have not done any polling.
But, assuming we were in freelance pursuit of the ever-elusive "spare change," I'd bet that it would not occur to most of us to hail a cyclist riding through downtown shortly after sunrise and solicit a cash donation.
And yet, that has happened to me twice this week.
Maybe these guys think it's all part of Bike to Work Week.
