Memoirs of a "So-Boulder" Life

So, I was riding my bike through Boulder on my way home from work today, and I stopped at a red light next to a car. An older gentleman on a bicycle glides up to me, smiles, and gestures at the car on the other side of me. "They don't know what they're missing, do they?" I smiled back and said, "No, they don't." We stood there, side by side, rosy cheeks, breath forming in the cold air, until the light turned and we sailed through the intersection.

SO BOULDER.

A year ago, I would have been one of the schmucks driving less than a mile to work each day (which actually takes longer than riding on the bike path). I would have been the one not knowing I'm missing!
