When I get off the train and walk to my office in the morning, I see other people going the last leg of their daily journey, taking that last hurdle, where rural tranquility meets suburban sprawl: the highway.

This bicycle/pedestrian bridge is way old, old skool, walking & pushing is a thing of the past. Nowadays, the usual policy directive for crossing a highway is to dig. Much better, but this ‘ll do. Progress will reach this neck of the woods someday, too.

At least your overpasses have grooves for bicycles :) We have to carry ours (well, not that I ever really use these things here, but for people that do…)

In that sense, they're groovy, yeah :)

I know you're a big boy and you like to lift your bike over your head, just to make a statement ;p

I make sure to hoist my bike over my head several times every day upon arriving at work, just to make sure everyone knows how awesome cyclists are :)

REAL cyclists, right? :p

Well, yeah. What other kind of cyclist would be awesome enough to lift their bike over their head repeatedly? :)

You're right, I can't think of anyone else :)
