Divisadero.

Divisadero at Fell 17:52
Temperature: 54°
Tuesday sky: dark gray
As my brain was shooting darts at popping floating bubbles surrounding the top of my head, I found myself walking across Fell street when the moon-walking sign at the pedestrian light turned green. From a glance, I get a great smile from a man and his bicycle on the bike lane to my right, where all the car lights are just blinding my thoughts as well. He says hello and a lovely greeting.
I smiled back. The street, one of the intersections I consider the most dangerous around the city for pedestrians and bicycles, suddenly gains a human sense. A community in flow.
That man made my day (well, evening)
Cheers!
Waiting for the bus.

  1. That was me last Tuesday. I'm glad I made your evening.

    I meant to add a comment long ago- your post "Frenchie Superstar" http://bikesandthecity.blogspot.com/2009/05/frenchie-superstar.html got me riding more - granted, I'm not as stylish- neon-yellow isn't flattering, but I make due.

  5. I know exactly what you mean--I still remember a total stranger who helped me for a moment with my suitcase on the busiest street in NYC! So wonderful!
