As I walked to work yesterday morning, a guy passed me on a bicycle. Silvery hair, high-vis jacket. Headphones. Arms down by his side, head swaying slightly - presumably in time to whatever he was listening to. There was something happy about his demeanour even though he had his back to me, I thought to myself.

Then he spread his arms wide, did a dramatic left/right/left shimmy, put his hands on the handlebars, and looped around a tree on the pavement, before continuing on his way.

I still think wearing headphones when you're cycling is dumb, mind you.
