Rode hard and put away wet

[darkemeralds]

Hah! I just checked two more things off my Becoming a Cyclist list:

• I rode in the dark with my headlight and taillight on
• I rode in the rain

And I rode in the dark in the rain on a busy street.

I am kind of made of win tonight.

ETA: And I didn't feel timid. Perhaps that's silly. But I'm discovering that, as in many another activity involving moving through the world, in city cycling, hesitancy is sometimes more dangerous than bold action.

Well, there's night and then there's dark. If I'm going to commute, it'll be dark both going to work and coming home in another couple of months. Fortunately, I have the protection of lots and lots of other cyclists, and a very bike-aware driving population. Also a very short commute through mostly quiet back streets. And lights!

And I'm going to buy one of those fashionable reflective vests.

Excellent. As I always tell my beloved, "meat bumpers are our friends."

OOoo, that seems rather harsh, seeing it there in shiny black and white....*koff*
