Dear New Orleans drivers,
Please refrain from running stop signs and hitting people on bicycles, especially when that person is me. Also, if you do hit a cyclist, please do not try to escape from the scene as fast as possible, especially when I can't memorize your license plate before you do.
Note to self: Wear steel-toed boots when biking to ensure maximum infliction of damage to the vehicles of reckless drivers who run over you.
