Today there was a guy standing on the corner with a sign. He is running for county council. He was just standing there waving at people as they drove by one by one trying to get some face to face recognition. I talked to him a while while waiting for the light to change, not about politics, since I'm not from here and don't vote in local elections. I did mention that I liked the new cycling infrastructure and hope to see more of it. When I left he just went back to waving at people moving around in their little cages, trying to make a connection.
