As I waited for the light to change, the driver opened his window and called to me, "Hey..."
(I winced, expecting to catch some grief about cluttering up the roadways)
He continued, "...your belt ain't working today."
After a moment of confusion, I looked down at my belt of incredible ugliness (

Commuting in to work by bike is fun, but that little episode made today's ride even nicer.
Love that story!!
