Happy Thanksgiving!
How would I feel about today if I were a turkey?
Cranky, perhaps?

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!
This lovely image was created by Dai Trinh Huu.
I am thankful for all of the places, people, feelings and things cycling has brought me. I am thankful I am riding at this time in my life.
This is my first holiday without my mother in my life. I miss her, but I am grateful to have had in my life for as long as I did. And for the people with whom I will spend today.

Make Sure You Have An Appetite!
I'm going for a bike ride--to work up an appetite for today's gorge-fest.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I Don't Think This Is What They Mean By A "Turkey Trot"!
While riding my bicycle, I've been chased by girlfriends, cops, boyfriends, dogs, an ex and drivers who seemed to want nothing more than to intimidate or harass me or any other cyclist they happened to see.
I must, say, though, I have never been chased by turkeys:
"Turkey's chasing bicycle". Hmm...That doesn't seem like a fair fight: a whole country in pursuit of one cyclist.
Happy Thanksgiving!

A Thanksgiving Greeting
Being the person I am, I often think about roles. That means, of course, I think of role-reversal. So it probably wouldn't surprise you to know that I particularly enjoyed finding this:
The poor turkey! Someone's making him (I'm assuming that if he's Tom, he's male!) do all of the work. Then he's going to be killed and stuffed by people who are going to stuff themslves with him, the stuffing and every other kind of food you can think of!
If that doesn't turn you into a vegetarian, I don't know what will. (Then again, I'm not saying that you should become one. A chacun son gout.
All right. I know I'm not supposed to use French on Thanksgiving, the most American of all holidays. But even Francophobes will, I suspect, forgive me this year in the wake of the Paris attacks.
Anyway...I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. And, if you don't celebrate this holiday, I hope this day is joyful and fulfilling. Finally, to my readers: Thank you.

Bicycles, Turkeys And A Feast For The Senses
If you grew up in the US, you probably made "hand turkeys" for Thanksgiving. If you're still making them now, don't worry: It'll be our little secret! ;-)
Since we're grown-up cyclists (Well, most of us, anyway!), we have to make more sophisticated Thanksgiving props or decorations. In other words, we have to make them from bike parts.
For all of you messengers, hipsters and other urban rider, here's a bird made from single speed parts:
Those of you who insist that everything you ride must be NJS-compliant probably don't approve. Just indulge yourself--and us--for one day, today. After all, isn't Thanksgiving the day when it's perfectly acceptable for people to go off their diets and do all manner of things they never do at any other time?
Since, ideally, this day should be a feast for the senses, I am including this image from Ecovelo:
