What do you do when wake up and can’t get back to sleep? Take a bike ride, of course.
I hopped on Tosca, my Mercian fixed-gear, for a spin.
Into the sun
rising over the World’s Fair Marina
I know it’s not Antibes or Nice, but I thought it was pretty nice nonetheless. From there, I spun along the North Shore to Bayside and a couple of blocks into a Nassau County before descending through Flushing Meadow-Corona Park (and the (Unisphere) before heading back to my apartment.
Along the way, I was treated to the cutest pedestrian crossing I’ve seen in a long time. When I stopped for the red light at 83rd Street and 34th Avenue, the hands of a young Asian (Korean, I think) woman danced together as she bowed her head with a coquettish smile. A female driver stopped at the same light gave both of us a thumbs-up.
I really enjoyed my bagel and yogurt when I got home!
