Overheard

While we were waiting in line at Clear Flour bakery during the Pastry Progressive,  the Scientist alerted me to an exchange that was going on over near my bike.  A man was crouching down next to Gilbert with his two daughters, explaining the different parts of the bike.

I was too far away to hear all of it, but I did catch "this is a chain guard- it protects your clothes from dirt and oil and keeps dirt out of the chain"  They were doing a thorough overview of the different parts- including my still flashing generator- pedals.  Those girls are well on their way towards an appreciation of practical  but stylish city bikes.
