Dusk Bike Ride
Tonight’s perfect weather let us take a bike ride to and from the Out On A Limb performance. During it, I discovered something quite interesting. See, I’m usually biking during the day when the wind is up and my forward progress depends on fighting against it. For this bike ride, however, it was dusk. For safety, we clipped a taillight to Mykala’s… tail. Coasting through the evening, the only thing impeding my progress was the occasional bug running into my face.
Leaning back in the saddle, dropping my hands to my sides, I could ignore the mild hum of the two wheels vibrating through the carbon and aluminum beneath me and just imagine I was jogging. Effortlessly. At 20mph. With a headlight. The streetlights dropped away just as quickly as they rose up next to me.
The illusion was convincing.
