it was a bit of a zen moment when i opened the door, took a deep breath and let loose to get dragged with the slow but heavy mass moving past on the street. 8:20 chislehurst this morning. i rode fast, yet more aware of I_use_my_old_bike_instead_ppl and found me in synch with my bike, the gearing worked perfectly together with my fitness and feelgood speed, i swerved a bit more, but each with a smile, i passed more cars then usual, still smiling, dividing the peds herds crossing infront of me i tried to look real grim but failed. my route to work went down smooth via ldn bridge, bank up to old street stn and i made a rather quick time, too. still i noticed some confusion and bad vibes out there today. never seen me so many ppl congesting the sidewalks before, wow. on days like these i really love it on my bike.
