Engineer-Poet's Journal: What a surprise!

After an 8-day hiatus, I got out on my bicycle again today. I didn't quite hit my intended turn-around point (I got started late, and turned around to make sure I didn't run out of daylight) but all in all I got in a very good workout. I give myself extra points for the sprint near the end to catch a line of traffic and get through a major intersection before the light turned.

One funny thing: someone coming the other way actually started to pass, saw me, and pulled back in. I gave them a friendly wave as they went by. Maybe the locals just take a while to get used to seeing bicycles on the road?
