I rode my bike for two and a half hours today.

The weather was spectacular.

At one point I was riding behind a Mister Frostee truck that was going super super slow past the playground by the projects on Hoyt. Oddly, there weren't any kids outside.

Finally I pulled around to be right next to the driver's window and asked if he's going to pull over soon. He looked really startled, and it occurred to me that in my white skateboarding helmet and orange reflector vest, I might look like a bicycle cop.

He pulled over right away, and handed me a small vanilla cone. Right away, I scarfed down the top of it.

Then he handed me my change, and I asked him to take the cone back and hold it while I put my change away.

Ha, I said. Don't eat any of it! And he laughed and said Here, let me refill it for you! and he put it back under the machine and built the peak back up high.
