Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s raining here in New York. I could go for a ride: After all, I have bikes with fenders. Maybe I will. Or I could go to the Botanical Garden, where the air will be fresh, even sweet.
Later this afternoon, I’m going to have dinner with my new friend and riding buddy, “Sam,” and his girlfriend. I probably will take a ride, however brief, tomorrow. In years past, I’ve avoided cycling on the day after Thanksgiving, a.k.a. Black Friday because drivers lose their minds pulling in and out of parking lots and spaces by the stores and malls running “sales.” But during the past few years, I’ve noticed less motor traffic, as more people are shopping online.
Whatever you do, enjoy this day!
