The Ride

It was cold this morning. So, I put on the black armor, the black hat, made sure to wear gloves and went for a ride.
Despite all that, the folks I ran into seemed friendly. Everyone I encountered smiled, said hi, and wished me a good morning.
Not bad for a bike riding man in a black gambeson wearing a Russian army surplus hat pedaling around when it’s freezing.
Dodging the emergency training session in the junior high school parking lot was difficult as I also had to avoid riding through the football game.
But, dodging the birdwatchers near the electric company was more difficult. That made me go off the path.
I only stopped for the sad man walking his laundry around the parking lot. I did explain to him that in my building there was a laundry machine on the first floor, and I didn’t have to bring it to any “central point” as he had been told.
This did not seem to change his being sad.
Even with the cold, I’m still glad I bought the bike.
And, I am smart enough to start our going up hill so the trip back is easier.
