As I rode to work this morning the moon was in the eastern sky. When I got to the parking area it was hanging over the skywalk running from the Justice Center (read: Jail) to the Courthouse.
I thought I might be able to get down low and manage a photo of the moon over the bikes. Alas, I couldn't find an angle I was happy with. After I finished crawling around on my knees I noticed one of the guys who rides quite regularly standing outside one of the secured doorways. Still on my knees, I pointed up toward the moon and said, "I was trying to get a shot of the moon with the bikes I wouldn't want you to think I was worshiping my bike."
He responded, "And, would there be something wrong with that?"
Since it's Halloween, I'll leave you with a photo I posted earlier on Facebook. My cousin's wife said it was pretty scary looking.
- 36F/2C with clear skies for the ride to work.
- 56F/13C with a few clouds for the home ride.
Hey I love that exchange between you and the other guy! No one in this county has a sense of humor like that. I hate it here.
ReplyDeleteYou do appear to be ready for battle...
Those of us who ride most days have a camaraderie that is very nice. We have some fun with each other. I'm grateful for this.
DeleteI guess this is my black knight look.

Of course there's nothing wrong with worshiping your bike.
ReplyDeleteYou look like the warrior type rider in the picture. Pretty intimidating to a cager I assume.
Sonja,
DeleteIt is rather difficult to be intimidating while riding the Symba, but I do get asked if I have another bike at home. When I ask them what kind they usually respond, "I don't know, something bigger." Oh well.
