Another day to ride between the raindrops, I thought, and rolled out on the long wheelbase Atlantis shod with 622 x 55 Rene Herse Antelope Hill Extralights. Saw this when I looked W up Broadway in Arlington, so of course I rode towards it.
A few lightning flashes and thunderclaps later, I had made my way into Lexington, as far as Arlington's Great Meadow (standard explanation passed by reference), where I took this photo.
Immediately after that, the rain fell in earnest, and did so for the remaining 3/4 of the ride, with a little more electrical activity thrown in for good measure. I enjoyed riding in the rain, but it did tend to focus my attention and that was it for photos. Among the pictures I didn't take, I particularly miss photographing the guy riding his bicycle no-handed while carrying on open umbrella above his head, living some dream or other.
The Atlantis with its fat, supple tires was fun to ride. I need to get it off pavement some time, but not in the middle of a rainstorm.
