Where'd all good people go?

Great song by Jack Johnson but also my topic today. I can tell you where: the Hudson Greenway. I had a flat today and I believe every single cyclist who passed me in either direction asked if I was OK / needed help etc -- not an inconsiderable number on a clear, sunny day. To all of you, thanks for checking on me! FTR, I was well prepared and back on the road w/ a (gluelessly) patched tube in ~8 minutes -- not bad for doing it in the shade on a cold day -- including tracking down and pulling out the @#$%ing little piece of glass the caused the puncture.

To sum-up, I learned two things today: first, there are lots of nice people on bikes and second, I can handle my folder at speed in a tight turn with a flatting front tire ().

Awesome! Great song as well. Good days do seem to wipe the other kind out.
