in the morning stand up today do the usual sweep of what we did on our weekends
somehow gets onto cycling, manager eyes me in the zoom, im barely out of bed, barely in trousers, they hit me with
"Maj, you're into road bikes arnt you?"
im a little caught off by this, and mumble "uhhh not really, kind of?"
i've got 5 faces looking back at me in the zoom wondering what i mean
"i like uhhh gravel bikes?"
the faces look more confused, eyebrows lifting and furrowing on me to expand more
"it's like uhhh... a atb...all terain bike....bigger than a road bike...no not a mountain bike...no it doesn't have to curly bars....i mean it can but some dont....no not a race bike...yeah some where lycra."
at this point one of my colleagues came back with a picture of their kid and the light was off me
took a minute on mute to compose myself
