Pulled up in drizzle outside the Trademens' entrance to mespilus Towers.
No, not consgned, (once gain), to the doghouse by mrs mespilus,
just easier to manhandle bikes into a safe zone by this route.
Unclipped, clicked on 'Stop' on the activity tracker
when a van pulls up behnd me and the driver winds down the window.
Hmm, am I about to get payback for having
euphemistically wished a myriad of badly driven vans
'Have a good day' over the years?
Switch off jaw-conducting headphones.
Turns out he's asking me about my rear bike light.
Turns out he cycles a bit himself
and he has never seen a rear light as good as my Exposure Tracer,
which I acquired after someone tipped the forum off to a deal.
Adrenaline subsides, I wander indoors and plug the tracer and the other 3 lights
in to recharge.
Thank you van driver: You're one of the good'uns.
