Playing In Traffic

Two days of bike commuting and I’m feeling better already. Although it’s definitely National Bike to Work Week out there; lots of amateurs. Today I experienced a first. Trying to scoot between traffic and the curb crossing the Mass Pike and I was stopped in my tracks by a dad with a bike trailer, who was effectively and efficiently blocking pretty much the entire lane of traffic, from curb to lane divider. I didn’t know whether to be amused or frustrated that he was holding me up.

On the less-ambigulously-positive side, the Studio Without Walls art installation along the Muddy River in Brookline is going on. It makes for a very pleasant 2 minutes of riding. Hopefully I’ll remember to start bringing a camera along for the ride, and post some pictures. That of course assumes I’m able to get out of the house early in the morning. Never a sure thing.
