Fatty finds a way to make bicycle commuting lazy. Take ferry as part of 6 mile commute everyday, most days ride my 24" BMX because it is just a fun ride with the few jumps along the way, saves money, and acts as good cardio. Going to board ferry, and usually take it as a chance to really push myself for the short distance through the car deck to the front of the boat (Weeeee! I can feel the sea breeze through my hair as I ride forward like I'm ten years old again). Going to secure bike against railing as I hear behind me. 'Huh, yeah, guess you won tough guy.' Turn and see it, huffing, on top of a three thousand dollar electric bicycle. I take in the sight of it, and how it was near gasping after going the same distance as me, barely pedaling, and straining the bike (you can hear the rachet sounds of the drive wearing from the load when it goes). I don't even want to engage, but I have already made the mistake of making eye contact. Hopefully I can disengage quickly... and nope. 'It is a ferry, not a drag strip. Also, why are you riding a child's bike? Shouldn't you grow up some?' Unable to stop it, mouth just retorts as the words form in my head. 'I hope the beetus hurries up and takes your legs soon for that bike's motor sake. It is not like you're using them to ride it anyhow.' It smolders with piggy rage, as I walk away to go get my morning black coffee. I don't want to feel so good for having said something so harsh to a stranger, but I cannot help grinning the whole ferry ride, and out right giggling as I encounter it again when I ride off the ferry. I still cannot help grinning, and giggling, every time I see it now when we get the same ferry.
