April 16th Commute


Summary


Round Trip Distance: 15.8
Number of Cyclists seen: 12
Route: Georgia Tech/Winn Park
Weather: Sunny, but cool and windy

Georgia Tech's new east campus is one of the few places around where there are plenty of bike racks and most of them are occupied. (I had thought I had gotten a better image, but apparently lost it; this one will have to do.)

On my ride home, I inhaled an insect through my mouth. It bounced off my tongue and hit the back of my throat. I thought I had swallowed it until it started biting me. It was still in my windpipe. I was beginning to consider if this might qualify as a good time to panic, but slowly took a deep breath and coughed him out on the first try. I think a wing or a leg got left behind however, because my throat had a tickle for about an hour afterwards.

I'd rather eat pollen.

When I saw the bike racks in your photo, it reminds me that I ride in a dozen or so towns regularly, and can only recall seeing one bike rack. It's near a 99 restaurant but not on their property.

I've thought of all sorts of photo surveys -- Hills, Trees, Panoramas -- but I ought to consider Bike Racks too.
