Ahem...I think you owe us a Friday haiku...

Ride in today was awesome! It was also the usual. See previous posts for my definition of "usual". It was 35F when I left this morning which meant the Old Navy wool coat over my t-shirt and Eddie Bauer gloves I got on sale, all of which kept me warm enough. The sun was out and I was catching the lights and riding fast which made the ride more enjoyable and too short. Before I knew it, I was already at 42nd St. and had to turn. Lots of ped dodging today so I zig-zagged a lot while riding at them so they would freeze and I could sail past them. If I just aim to go behind them they stop and if I aim to go in front of them, they keep going. Zig-zagging confuses them so they stop and I can pick a line around them.
