Hey everyone, it’s Holly. Did you have a great summer? I know I did! Joe and I didn’t take any out-of-state rides this year, but we were on our bikes almost all the time! we’re lucky enough to be able to commute by bike and man, that is the way to get to your job, it’s the best part of the day, besides going home 😀 I remember some rain in June, but after that, I think I rode to work like 90% of the time. Our season is so short, it makes us appreciate it more.
My biggest concern while on the bike, definitely, is distracted driving. Despite the “no cell phone or texting while driving” law, it is pretty commonplace! and really gets me livid when I see a vehicle drifting over the center line and I see the driver’s head is down, obviously looking at a device. Or driving with the phone plugged to their head. I don’t know how to get to people to stop it, all we can do is be super-vigilant at every vehicle approaching us. I have to say though, while commuting through Stowe Village at a slow pace in traffic, I do take the opportunity to bark at people, “HEY! get off the phone and DRIVE!” while cruising by their open window.
Being on the bikes yesterday to deliver the donation turkeys was pretty awesome, for us to ride comfortably in mid-to-late November is a rare treat isn’t it.
We wish everyone a great holiday with family and friends, and hopefully being able to be thankful for wanting what you have 🙂
Best wishes, Holly
