Mazza-
Smoking kills.
JUST KIDDING! I love it! I have an early morning commute, and I can relate to much of what you write.
Waiting, before 6am, at traffic lights set on timers - no traffic, anywhere, and there I am, sitting.
I enjoy commuting with my regular riding partner, too. He only comes along when the sun is shining. At sunrise, I've got the sun on my left, and my shadow is cast along the roadside to my right. I love how much sunlight passes through the open spaces of the bike - even the flickering shadow reveals its vintage nature.
I'm sure I look ridiculous, too tall and skinny, sitting upright, dressed in shiny yellow - but my shadow
always looks cool...
More, please!!!
