Sometimes you see the dangdest things while commuting.

The other day (just before I slipped in "a little sand,") I was travelling through a quaint, very old little neighborhood called Grant Park. Old, yes, but like Inman Park (circa 1890) many old-style houses have been remodeled and professional people occupy them.

Problem was, I was not sure how to get where I wanted to go.
Lo and behold, a cyclist ahead! And moving very slowly, wearing a loosely-fitting, unzipped white windbreaker puffed out in the breeze. I caught up to ask directions.

:eek:

A sweet old lady driving her bike down the road, with a glasses-mounted mirror.

:beer:

(She didn't know the directions I was asking her for, but she sure was friendly! :) )

I just moved a month ago, and have several times seen a little old lady riding around my new town. She's got an old-style bike, probably a fixed gear, and she rides in a 50's style outfit, complete with straight skirt and hat. Of all the cyclists I've seen around here (and there are a LOT, I love living here), she's the one I want to talk to the most!

Bicycling has introduced me to many delightful, interesting people.
