The Chainlink

I got him!

Approaching the intersection of Orleans and Ontario from the south, on my way from work just about an hour ago, I saw a cyclist pedaling on the east side of Orleans, getting to the same intersection from the north. Against the traffic. That he didn't have a headlight goes without saying.

I've been in a similar situation several times before, but never had a chance to try this way of dealing with that kind of fish: I slowed down, and kept as close to the curb as I can, forcing the salmon to go around me.

There was enough light still to see the expression on his face.

Priceless!

Stopping on the right doesn't force them into traffic.  If you stop, then they can stop too, and nobody crashes.

Shit! I thought maybe some had a love for bikes and fishing like me. Ill go back to sewing and dreaming of salmon. Heres one from last week. This one fish lowered my grocery bill by 40.00 bucks this week. Montrose harbor.

After a pretty impressive run (if I do say so myself), I just lost my first game of chicken with an old(er) lady salmoning on Wolcott near Wilson the other day. I held my ground and started trying to steer her towards the parked cars but she just kept on pedaling until we got close... AND THEN SHE CLOSED HER EYES
