It was terrific!!



i rode my plastic Fred-cycle for the first time since October. Had a change of clothes at the office already. AND I ran into (figuratively, of course) another commuter! A rarity for sure. An older gent, riding a vintage Univega. I commented on the awesomeness of his ride, but I fear my plastic bike and lycra probably didn't convey I truly did like his ride. I should have told him that despite my ride, steel is real! Didn't think about it until I was already at work

Also there were firemen collecting money at an intersection, I gave them a dollar, and one of them said something to the effect of You are a brave soul riding a bike in the morning traffic - I had to tell him, brave soul or no, it was a beautiful day for it and I do it regularly. I think it takes more bravery to run into a burning building
