I mile or two round trip for pancakes at the local diner. Much of the convenience of living in Arlington is the result of having a bike, In any case, temperatures were in the 60s and I vividly re-experienced the feeling of soaring above the road that I had on my first bike trips as a child. The loud sound, halfway between a whoosh and a buzz, of Brood X of the periodical cicadas was much reduced. It picks up drastically as the day warms. The insects have emerged after 17 years of underground "lockdown" and I think we all identify with them.
