The woman in gold heels
Arriving in the city core, we were just in time for rush hour traffic. On bikes. Totally new experience for me. There we were thinking we were all tough -- and women in skirts and heels were passing us. Goldiheels in particular rode in our trafic caravan for about 10-12 blocks. We'd start fast and then get passed by the rest of traffic. Folks who know me know that it's not the "women" part of that that's odd (most of the women I ride with are a little to a lot stronger than me); the "skirts and heels" part was what threw me. Folks in office clothes on bikes. Going fast. I felt like a big truck on a four lane, going slow and trying not to get in trouble with the other smaller, faster vehicles. After hundreds of kilometers by ourselves, we were suddenly top-tube-deep in thick, fast bike traffic. I was a little shocking for all of us.
