Treespeed

Things I heard on my commute while listening to the ska/punk band the suicide machines on my I-pod shuffle.

Overtaking traffic engines, sound of cross traffic, accelerating motorcycle, people talking at the bus stop, cross traffic cyclist saying hello (I could also see him waving), horn from the a-hole who honked immediately after the light turned green, but my anger turned to pity as I realized he was driving a nasty rust infested old Ford Taurus, I can’t imagine his day is going to get any better anytime soon. I could also still hear that my drivetrain needs a tuning.

Other sensory observations, definitely cooler now in the mornings, I could smell the Winchell’s donut shop before I could see it, (don’t dull your sense of smell!) Don’t drink coffee, you might taste the diesel exhaust of the Bus, before you see it.

For those of you who can’t chew gum and walk a straight line get out there and practice your cycling skills. I suggest an empty church parking lot. For the rest of us there is a world of sensation awaiting you.
