a small scene

I was biking into work this morning, enjoying the combination of bikelane and downhill slope on 8th. Really getting into the 'alien fighter jet' feeling of a recumbent at high speeds. "Look out for that car... bit of a pothole there... dodge around that sandwich... drat, I was bigger than that, I could have rolled it up... wait, what?" There was a perfect sandwich just sitting in the road, and for about 30 milliseconds I was living in the Katamari universe. That left me giggling so hard for the next few blocks that I almost fell off.

Dammit. Not another anime I have to watch.

Just as long as you don't decide that you're probably big enough to roll up the cars.

Hehe. Then again, it could be worse. If you'd played a ton of GTA you could find yourself running up to cars in traffic, frantically thinking "triangle button! triangle button!".

Not anime, game. Extremely simple, fun, almost zen game.

I love my recumbent. What kind have you got?

A 2001 Vision R42, short wheel base with underseat steering. Picked it up used last year, mostly to make sure I finally did the Seattle to Portland ride. Not having to worry about neck, back, wrist and elbow issues made training a lot easier.

I love the bike, but I can't say it isn't without drawbacks. It obviously doesn't have 100 years of constant mechanical optimization behind it. =\
