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.

I've been so impressed with your biking adventures! And taking notes...in Bordeaux, that's going to be one of my main forms of transportation...

Oh my gosh, yes! And where better than a French city? I mean, they "get" cycling in France, I think almost as much as in the Netherlands. How exciting! Will you just buy a bike once you're there?
