ride to live, live to ride

Have I mentioned how much I enjoy the early morning ride home from work? It's a relatively calm, cool ride that still poses some traffic challenges. The road gets my heart pumping and the scenery keeps my awe enough to make the same route in a car pale in comparison. It's no woodsy lane, but it's a little bit of country and a little bit of rock n' roll.

As I was on my way home from work this morning, battling some strong wind, I was coming down a particular home stretch and found myself passing a semi-truck on the right. I had some traffic behind me and noticed a car that had been trying to accelerate to pass me before I got next to the semi-truck.

This car apparently had some place important to be because it cut through the turn/yellow lane on the left of the truck, in a particularly dangerous area. What's funny, is that this person lived in the same area I do and we got home at the same time. If I was in a car, I'd be going the same speed but I can imagine it's frustrating to be stuck behind a semi and a slow-looking scooter.

Work to Ride

I know I'm just a lowly scooter rider, but I'd like to remind all two-wheel jockeys out there that this Wednesday July 18th is Ride To Work day. If you can ride then show your pride.

Man I am

Don't have any pictures for this, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

When I was out and about last week, I noticed a pickup truck with 2 bumper stickers. 'Cavemen are people too' and 'Australopithecus ends in us'. I thought these were funny in their own right, but then I looked between them at the license plate that said 'HOMINID'.

Good stuff. Ook ook.
