Since I’ve just gotten back in my bike saddle and am once again doing early morning laps at Prospect Park, I thought I’d share some of what I see, love, hate, am puzzled by and any other generally oddball isht that comes across my screen. I will call this line of commentary “Notes from the Park” and I encourage you to comment with your own from your own Park Life. Format is observation, rec.
Note 1.1 - Creepy Kids Guy
Observation: Guy wearing Team Kids Shirt who looks like he’s probably in the national registry for touching kids.
Rec: I don’t want any kids on any Team you’re on and I’d love to buy you a new shirt. I’m calling the cops.
Note 1.2 - Furtive Road Crossers (on the downhill)
Observation: You’ve half-heartedly put your left foot in, then your left foot out. Sometimes you stride confidently and mid-stride decide to do your best impersonation of a doe caught in headlights at the bottom of a steep hill.
Rec: This is NOT the hokey pokey. Walk or walk not, there is no F’n stopping in the middle of the road. I’m doing 40 mph 33mph (for real this time) and I weigh 235 lbs. You’d be better off being hit by a Kia. There are safer ways to kill yourself if you’re feeling suicidal and you don’t have to take me out with you.
Note 1.3 - Salsa Dance/Walk Woman
Obersvation: You Salsa around the loop…literally the entire way, working up a sweat and looking a little silly.
Rec: DON’T DO ANYTHING differently. You rock! And when I said silly that was shortsighted. I meant Awesome! Keep bumping El Cantante and swinging those hips Senora!
