Dear drivers,
Thank you so very much for all the attention I receive while riding.
It is amazing how many nice people blow their horns and wave as they drive by.
I like to think that the flashing lights on my bike and helmet are seen as causes for celebration.
When I see you speed by and swerve a little, I imagine you're waving "goodbye and safe trip" as do the pilots when they wave when taking off.
Those who seem surprised when they see me and wave their cell phones are especially appreciated. Of course I can't call you and say "hello", because I don't have your number. It's a nice gesture anyway.
Hopefully someday I'll meet up with you when the light changes and you are stopped.
I'll be equally as friendly, and perhaps I can leave you with something with which to remember me; perhaps a warm embrace. Maybe I can even pat you lightly with my favorite brass padlock which I carry attached to a heavy stainless steel chain. It's such a sweet trinket; just like a big old charm bracelet.
Well, I have to go now. Hopefully we'll meet up again soon.
Looking forward to sharing the rode [sic..unless he's a sailor and talking about the anchor rode] with you lovely people.
Remember, texting while driving is such a cool way of staying in touch with friends. We cyclists understand and only want you to make it home safely.
The guy on the bike.
