By the time I got there, he wasn't near a bike, nor did his clothing and
lack of sweat indicate that he had biked recently. My politics may
differ from yours, since I spoke to him specifically to complain about
the bike lane closure on the Ala Wai, which ostensibly is an
environmental project of some sort. Never mind the fact that the
barriers have been pushed into the bike lane solely so that construction
workers can park their personal pickup trucks behind them. (after all
doesn't everyone who works in Waikiki get free parking?) I haven't seen
anyone actually working there in a long time, so I guess they're hoping
that enraged cyclists will toss the barriers in the canal among the
shopping carts and they won't have to pick them up. I don't know enough
about sewage to be sure, but it seems that the mayor probably wasn't the
only person shitting in the pipe last year.

Many acres of Lycra. I was in the roughly 10% minority that wasn't
wearing any, since I came straight over from work. It was a nice ride.
I guess we thought about safety, and some people who had been in
accidents talked about that. Although we weren't "silent" per se, we
were pretty quiet and the whole speed limit thing produced a chill vibe.
I had forgotten that one actually can ride slow enough not to break a
sweat.
