I saw that this morning. What's that about? It looks horrible, so I'm hoping it's just temporary.


On my own commute in, I had a fun experience. I did a trackstand through a traffic light right next to a bus. By the end of the light cycle, the bus driver opens the door to his bus to get my attention (I'm in the next lane, even with the door). I look up, knowing I may lose balance just for a glance, and he's just smiling. We don't say a word to each other, but as the light changes and we both roll through the intersection, he taps his horn to say goodbye.
