Date 29 - The Cyclist V
The Scene: Bike ride.
The Attire: Black t-shirt, black cycling pants, red shoes (it’s a bike staple at this point).
The Meeting: The Building Entrance.
The Environment: Outside and ready to explore the best of the city.
The Cyclist met me at my building’s entrance, and I, not knowing our plan of engagement, was ready for whatever – games, anything, everything! I walked my bike out the door, onto the elevator, down the stairs, and out the door to meet him. He looked like a chocolate candy bar; we hugged and were on our way.
We explored the city by visiting art galleries, discovering quaint pop-ups, exploring neighborhood eateries and any other exploratory events that was happening throughout the city:
Edgewood
Castleberry Hill
Grant Park
We met some cool ass people; we visited everything from an art gallery highlighting the artistic landscape on skateboards to local artists murals, from singing and spoken word to DJs spinning us out the door to grab a slice of pizza. We biked, swerved, bobbed, and weaved our way through, around, and with traffic –
I felt free!
Note to Self: Sometimes, the best things are unplanned.
Shout Out to Men: There can be unadulterated pleasure in simply going with the flow.
Question: How do you view spontaneity?
