one of my favorite things about my morning commute is the multiple cyclists you get to ride with. there is such a diversity of people on their bikes in the morning with whom you share a lot in common with like bikes, commuting to work, enjoying the open morning air. it’s nothing like a commute on bart or muni where you are only aware of your paper, coffee, and time. sometimes it’s nice to meet people on the road and say good morning or nice bike, and once you separate, you depart with wishing each other a great day. i love this experience because it creates a since of community on the road even for just a minute or so. making friends on the road just adds a little adventure to my morning commute too.
