I don't ride a fancy bike -- I couldn't even tell you the brand or model right now without going out and looking at it. The bike is just a regular commuter type i've had for several years. I have a straw basket. I don't wear bike shorts or cycling jerseys emblazoned with team names, races and sponsors. I just wear whatever. If I am on the way to the gym, I wear my gym clothes. Otherwise, whatever works.
I am using this blog to journal my resolve to ride my bike more often and to more places. And still be a regular rider.
Welcome to the Slow Bicycling lifestyle. :-)
ReplyDeletedanke! I was happy to see your site because Slow Riders seem rare in the 305 (except for tourists who rent bikes on the beach).
ReplyDeleteThe positive about being a rarity here in Kendall is that cars pay attention to me and are surprisingly polite. I think it's safer to ride a bike in Kendall than drive my car!
Kudos! I never knew people would be nice in Kendall.
ReplyDeletebtw, IIRC, there's a bike path that goes through a lot of Kendall (maybe by the busway?) and ends near one of the ends of the M-Path, which gives you a relatively safe path from Kendall to Downtown :D
