Took my normal route to BART and picked up bag-o-SWAG and a strawberry at the refresher station.

turned 'round and headed to the next BART station for another bag-o-SWAG.

On the way there was a refresher station at a school yard. Kids and teachers very excited it seemed to see me, waved me over ... another bag-o-SWAG.

Semi stern lecture on my part to the teachers that it's great they are encouraging kids to ride but "what's with it that none of them have helmets?? "

One kid asks "why do we need to wear them"
Teacher "because it protects your brains "
Trek "that's true but also....because it's the law"
Kid and teacher "whah? " they didn't know.

Hop on the bike pedal further, get on BART to Lake Merrit station, pedal round the lake down to downtown Oakland. I missed the pacake breakefast but had a great time.
