8:17 a.m., riding north on Dibble Ave NW. What was it… 19 degrees? Me - 2 sweaters, 1 down jacket, wool hat, hot coffee in hand, running to catch the bus. You - AND your young daughter, pink puffy jacket - pedaling your tandem, smiles peeking through puffs of I-see-your-breath. You two are waaaay tough!

Cyclist: I Saw You
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009 by Cyclist I Saw YouI had to make sure that your efforts were also known. I saw you pedaling down the street with a Christmas tree, a 7 foot Douglas Fir on…not your trailer, not your Xtracycle, but…on your BACK. Strapped to your back, making you unsafe under doorways and keeping smelling air freshener fresh, I saw you and the two drivers who honked at you and gave you the wave and the thumbs up sign. I wish I could have seen how you’d strapped it to your backpack, but thank you for not making any excuses about the Christmas spirit.
