I don't meet the same caliber of character that the fox bumps into, but there is one. On my morning excersize rides (in the dark) I routinely see an old man. He is African American and riding a classic single speed bike. The bike has a nice headlamp, plus one of those high visability pennants in the back. In addition, the man wears a dayglo vision vest like a roadway contractor. I say hi to just about everyone I meet at that hour and he is no exception. He always waves in return and smiles. I don't see him everyday, but we now cross paths routinely and I find I look forward to seeing him. I believe he is riding to work somewhere. A real gentleman!
