Had a new and happy experience yesterday on the commute home.....
Warmer weather brings the kids out to play more. Here I am just easing down the road on the ride home and these kids were out and caught sight of me a half-block away. They came running down the sidewalk and then stayed fairly close for a couple of minutes (I wasn't going fast - it'd been a long day at work). They were goin' crazy - "cool bike", "wow mister", "what is that?" and other stuff. Like I had my own cheering section. :D
A nice change after having most 'adults' stare like I'm the craziest/weirdest thing they have ever seen. Had one the other day take his hands off the steering wheel and literally turn in the car seat as I went by - glad I wasn't going the same way. :eek:
