a small scene

[gfish]

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.

Aw man, you made me laugh and that made me cough. Hee hee hee.

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. =\
