So I took my bike out
for a ride to do grocery shopping an hour ago. The air was cool. Very
nice feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. The breeze cooling you down
as you try going faster than the couple of bikes in front of you,
feeling just nice all around. Leg muscles heating up as you push against
the pedals. Docking away from the potholes and manholes and the pits
and cracks of the pavement. That sudden left or right lean of the bike,
that light push on the handle one way or the other. No need for lane
splitting, as the road was pretty empty tonight, but I wouldn't have
needed it anyways. That was super cool, a feeling I've had only twice
over the last two months. I think I will make a commitment to use my
pedal-bike when grocery shopping, rain or shine, and my Suzuki for
everything else. At least this summer.
