Kalamazoo Cyclist: Post Tax Day Recap

Hello again, and happy Wednesday.

Just dropping by to give you a quick recap of some events that transpired over the course of yesterday. If you are friends with me on Facebook, you may have already received a preview. But, I did not share with you the favorite part of my story.

As a cyclist, it is imperative to intake a significant amount of calories on a daily basis. Therefore, when I saw this come across my inbox the other day, you can bet I blocked my calendar.

Yes, 1,040 bonus points at Qdoba, and basically all you have to do is eat Qdoba. And if you are not a cyclist and don't eat at Qdoba, 1,040 points is approximately 1/3 of a burrito.

So I was delightfully pedaling down the street for lunch when I came across a car with it's flashers on, in the middle of the road. And just so you don't think I'm a total jerk, my first thought was to ask if they needed any help. Further inspection of the vehicle; however, identified that it was unoccupied. So I proceeded on my route...

Then it occurred to me as I took one more backwards glance...how ironic that this car broke down, ran out of gas, or whatever, in front of a bike shop. Of course, I had to return to the scene and capture this special moment:

That is when it happened...

As I was standing there on the sidewalk admiring my photography skills, an irate person in their car pulled into the turning lane behind this abandoned car. Subsequently, this person laid on their horn multiple times in increasing increments. After a while, I can only presume said person began to realize this car was not moving. Maybe it was the flashing flashers, or maybe it was the fact that the car was not moving. Either way, this person then maneuvered around the broken down car, all the while angrily glaring into what they would soon discover was unoccupied space. I should also share that this persons final destination was Sonic - America's drive-in.

You really can't make this stuff up.

The entire time I just stood there quiet. Or is it quietly? Or should I say, I just stood there, quiet? You never really know sometimes...

And finally, the weather outlook for the next 5 days is really looking up. Or is it uply?
