I couldn't finda spare broom, and didn't want to use my one reasonably good one (good because I never use it, but that's another story ).

None of the other 9 or 10 bikes out there in the wind had costumes either. Our temperature was 40 degrees but falling. It'll be nippier later in the week... not 19 though...

Oh, be it duly noted, though, that somebody (not a biker) actually asked me "what bike did you wear?" to a ride
