weekend rides - the fable of the turtle and the hare

[Biciclista]

The white ribbon is reflective. I wear it for four reasons:
1. To identify me to motorists. If you're a driver, all bicyclists look pretty much the same. But if you see me with my ribbons once, and then see me again later, you'll know it's me. My theory is that connection -- "Oh, it's the same person I saw earlier!" -- changes me from Just Another Darn Bicyclist Slowing Me Down to a human being.
2. To be eye-catching and reflective when I ride in the dark.
3. To be pretty.
4. To be a wind sock so I always know which way the wind is coming from.

what a great idea!! I'll be looking for you.

btw; On our Saturday ride we were on the B-G trail and there was a sign that said "ROAD CLOSED" and like true cyclists everywhere, we ignored the sign and rode on until we came to a mudslide.. I guess they meant it.
