This evening I rode my bicycle to class. On the way I heard plastic fall off of my bike and into the intersection. I pulled off and realized it was my little Planet Bike front light. One of the little clip on types.
So I turned around and there it was in the middle of one of Chicago's famous six-corner intersections. My thoughts of retrieval were immediately smashed by a large black SUV. Despite this, I thought I could salvage some of it, like the little battery rolling away. Nope, a green Toyota took care of that! And to my bemusement, four more cars rolled over the remaining pieces, as if it were a staged comedy : (
Sigh, perhaps I'll just have to get the hub generator that much sooner : )
Still, it was nice to be out on my bike on such a nice evening.
