Does this happen often?
I've been commuting for over a month now. Sometimes I see other commuters, but usually going in the opposite direction than me (or riding on the sidewalks). Today on my way home, I ran into another commuter at the second intersection I came to. We ended up going most of my route together. We'd catch up with each other at each intersection and chat while we waited. It was a nice sense of comraderie.
I'm just savoring the pleasant surprise of the day
