Noisy Drama

A downed high voltage power line added noisy drama to my cycle ride along the Cedar Lake Trail today.

Today is my annual “Take your Bicycle to the Airport Day.”

Cycled, no nephews, no yelling:”No, the other left””Respect the bike””Stop standing on the [bike] seat” (Really)

Cycled on this functional bridge across I35W at 40th Street. It’s due for widening and “aesthetic enhancements.”

While their bikes were fixed, my nephews ate ice cream and made futile requests for me to buy bells for their bikes.

Cycling with my nephews.

Explored unfamiliar trails and, from afar, derelict industry. Mississippi barges can no longer reach this facility.

Wry sentiments on my cycle ride today.

6:00 a.m. Target Field Station: boarded Northstar. Cycled back from Coon Rapids, following the Mississippi.

Drove my “new car” to Freewheel Bike then cycled home on my first new bicycle in over 30 years.
