The Little Things

Written by Boston Biker on Dec 10

Things I see everyday on my ride make me happy.

• The smiling face of a friend as you battle the nasty snow sleet together “Yahooooooooooooo!” echoing over the wind, friends make even the worst weather worth riding in.
• The fact that the elderly gentleman who ran out in front of me and the cab next to me (and the mini-van in the lane after that) managed to NOT get run over by any of us, even though he tried really really hard.
• The instant karma moment when the guy who was backing up the wrong way through the intersection nearly missed running me over, only to smash ass first into a telephone pole.
• The girl riding no handed down Hampshire street rocking out to her music while conducting an invisible orchestra. Not safe, but awesome to witness.
• The elderly lady popping a perfect track stand on her sweet fixy at a red light. (blew my mind!)
• The woman with her two kids on the back of an extra-cycle cruising up Cambridge street towards downtown without a care in the world.
• The view from the Longfellow as the city is wrapped in fog and low clouds, like a present wrapped in cotton.
