Good thing there are no phone booths around that area for him to dash into.

Alone on my bike

waiting for the light to turn

while others sail past.

Yesterday I was riding into Humboldt Park when I came to a red light behind two young super cool hipster looking girls.  I was in a hurry and knew I was going faster than them before I got to the light, so I stopped to their left side and behind them, wilst waiting for the light.  The one girl was like, "Exuse me, are you a fast biker, sir?"  I suspected some sarcasm but answered as if it was an honest question.  "Well, I was catching up to you guys... I'm going straight."  "Well, go right on ahead of us please!", or something equally hinting at sarcasm.  It bugged me because, I wasn't trying to show off, I wasn't being rude in anyway... but mostly it bugged me because I didn't have anything witty to say back.  I should have been like, "no, your just reeeeaaallly slow, I thought you were riding backwards or something... GET OUT OF MY WAY!"  ha ha.  maybe they weren't even being sarcastic.  whatever. I rode today.

Lovely morning for a deluge...  a lot less traffic today, seems as if everyone is on vacation.

I got drenched a couple times. On the plus side, I tacked on an extra 16 miles to my commute this morning. Here's the view from the north side of the Shedd this morning just before 6am (and just after my first deluge).
