officer asks me where i am going in a hurry. so i told him i am just going home from work. he was really cool. he just tells me don't do that again and keep up the good work commuting on a bicycle and let me go. i was relieved. now i won't run any more red lights again.
also made it to PB and picked up a pair of shoes and pedals for my road bike.
....and PB would be........? (All I know that to be is Planet Bike)
Gorgeous ride this morning. Crisp 45F with the sun barely poking over the mountains for the second half of the ride. Good thing my commute is East-West in the mornings.
The past couple of weeks I've seen the same homeless guy along the transit corridor in downtown, and have greeted him with a genuine "good morning". Seems like a nice enough guy, and a unique character to boot. He has a full white beard and wears blankets and tapestries, with numerous things draped around his neck - he's like a king. Anyway, this morning when I greeted him, I could see from his cheekbones that he was smiling (beneath the white beard), and he reached a hand up to give the horn hanging from his neck a honk.
It's going to be stunning for the ride home - sunshine and ideal temps.
