Quirky things you do on your rides

On the way out of my neighborhood are 2 small bumps about a foot apart on the road. For some reason, I always want to ride between them as if it will ensure good luck. I’ve even raced cars or slowed down just so I can get to do this.

I love this! I talk to animals a lot on my ride:
- "Bun-bun, make the right choice!" damn bunnies, so cute and they jump right in front of me (they're lucky I'm slow!).
- "You have a lovely family!" to the hissy and nervous springtime papa goose.
- "CrowFRIENDS, get some FOOD!" to the crows, especially the groups of juveniles who are learning how to fend for themselves.
- Long, loud, and low call of "COYOOOOOOOOOTE! Go on, GIT!" to the curious coyotes in Jan-Feb (their mating season around here, when I see a lot of them in the early morning and they aren't as skittish as they are the rest of the year).
