Phil Bikes

It’s National Bike Month. My snarky reply when I heard this was, “when is it not bike month?”

Now that the triple threat of cold, rain, and dark has been supplanted by a mostly nice Spring, I’ve been riding nearly everyday. So, now I’m now going to use the most over-used cliche since 1966 :

Good: You get to see newly-hatched Canada goose chicks up close. (May 1st)

Bad: You might get caught out in a hail storm, unless you leave work early to run some errands. (May 2nd)

Ugly: Any driver who thinks the bike lane downtown is for pulling over to ask directions deserves more than me just rapping on their window, but antagonizing motorists is not going to help anything. (May 3rd)

Hooray for bikes!
