Victory and embarrasment

During my commute I come across three bridges. Two of them aren't very interesting (however one of those two can be a bit of a challenge with headwind and rain), but the third just is a monster. It actually has stairs alongside of it, so you can walk up to the top instead of ride the bike. Today I was in for a challenge. I couldn't be bothered unlocking my shoes from the pedal and thought it just had to be done for a first time once... So I did it, just road it to the top and passed two cyclists on hybrids and one that had the balls to ride up there on granny's old single speed. It was worth a smile.
Though I made it up there, the first time I tried. I slayed the beast, victory is mine!!

Though on my way back home, it was a bit more crowded on the streets. About ten minutes before I got home I had to stop for a red light, but my shoe wouldn't unlock. Not sure what I did wrong, but I just fell over at the point I had stopped. That was quite an embarrasment, but I don't think anyone really noticed. Or at least... I hope...

All together a nice day to ride. About 10 degrees Celsius, wind around 3 Beaufort. Most important of all: I had fun commuting
