After work, I rode about 30 miles with my friend, Sandra. The weather was beautiful and that can only mean one ting: a packed trail! As you know, a packed place (any place at all, really) is great for people watching...one of my most very favorite past-times. There is always a great cast of characters available for the viewing. It is like HBO without paying the premium.
Let me try and remember who we saw today...ah, yes. There was...
High as a kite group of walkers. These people were so stoned, I think we got a contact high from zipping past them. There was another group of high walkers as well...I didn't notice them at first, but Sandra did. Eventually, one of the ladies in the first group fell over on the trail. That was funny.
Creepy man on bike talking to himself. No explanation needed.
A group of, what I like to call, "serious bikers". These are the schmucks that are sponsored by some company and they feel that they need to don all the fancy, matching gear. I think these people are kind of douchy. My husband bikes, but he doesn't wear the "special" clothing. He survives. I am sure these jokers will, too.
A lady on a bike pulling her kid in one of those bike carriages/kid trailers. The kid was on is iPad. Really? He can't just watch the scenery? Look for some animals. Take some nice pictures. Give your neck a break. I have seen this once before with my pal, Christine. We said the same thing. Enjoy the view before you give yourself carpel tunnel syndrome.
Stinky guy. This guy needed a bath or some deodorant or both. He was so smelly that when we rode by him, his smell lingered in the air for a good 5-10 seconds. On a bike...wow. Potent!
A dog being walked by his owner. I know this is not uncommon. This dog looked juuuust like his owner! They even had the same little waddle. It was kind of cute. Ok, it was very cute. Little, chubby Daschund. Little, chubby owner. Adorable.
Babies!!! There were tons of babies in the trail! They were all precious. And they had perfect parents...and perfect clothes...and mom wasn't breaking a sweat pushing her twins in her fancy Bobs stroller. One day...one day.
I think that was it. We only had 2 hours to bike. I am sure there will be more funnies next time!
