Oh yeah...yesterday evening and this morning there was a new addition to my commute. An older male ped wearing shorty red running shorts. You know, the kind with the slit up the side. I was hoping yesterday was just a fluke.

Sometimes I wish there were more cyclists around on my route, but I'm kind of glad because I like the solitariness. In my nearly 5 months of riding, I've only encountered another cyclist three times (other than kids tooling around their driveway or in their neighborhood).

The first two were roadies in full Lycra. And get this--they BOTH waved at me! I nearly fainted dead away.

The third was someone walking their bike up a hill going the wrong way. Well, I guess it was the right way since he was walking. Needless to say, I dropped his ass and shot him the finger as I did so.
