The Grand Bicycle Happy Smile Consipiracy
Written by Boston Biker on Feb 17So this morning it was a bit cold, but the sun was out, the feeling was right, and the gears were moving. I had a great ride, and saw a lot of people on bikes! I thought to myself “self it is such a nice day, why not say good morning to every biker you see/pass/stop next to” I think in forward slashes…
So thats what I did. I said “good morning!” or “Morning!” or “Nice day for a ride!” or “Hi!” to every single biker. And almost all of them looked at me funny then smiled. So I think it worked…
So bikers, here is your home work. From now on, whenever you see another biker you should try and give them some small token of acknowledgment. Be it a head nod, a smile, a “howdy”, a “good morning” or a “nice bike!” Anything that lets them know they are part of a very awesome club (that being, people on bikes).
We ride bikes for a whole host of reasons, one of mine is because I don’t want to be trapped in a car completely separated from my fellow human beings. I want to see and hear nature, and I want to not have to wait in a long line of cars stopped at red lights (to the front and stop). If we all start saying hi to each other only good things can happen. Who knows maybe all the people in cars will start to feel jealous of our bike party and get out of their cars and ride with us.
Boston Bikers Unite! Or at least head nod!
