Today was Bike to Work Day in the Bay Area and I did my part! It was a bit of a let down to me, since I bike everyday, but the sentiment wasn’t lost. Some bikers had a booth setup at CalTrain and I grabbed some free water and stickers.
I was most disappointed by the lack of other riders out on the street, although I regularly head into work around 10AM and I imagine most normal people are already at work by then. Two amusing sentiments of the day were 1) seeing a rather large man biking down one of the main streets in San Mateo wearing just shorts, no shoes, no shirt. 2) Having a guy on a Harvey come up next to me at a streetlight and give me flak for not riding a “real” bike. I was totally not expecting it, but it brought a smile to my face.
