A Thing of Beauty

I passed this guy riding his bike on my way to work this morning. Except he was wearing a yellow jersey and a backpack. I was lucky enough to see him as he was climbing a small hill; his specialty. Seriously, he looked like his body was doing what it was made to do. Not walk, not drive a car, not run or dance or skip, but ride a road bike (well, there's one other thing his body was made to do, but I won't write about it here). He was going fast and had perfect form and flow. Incredibly sexy. He averages over 20 mph on his commute. Pretty cool, huh?

I'm glad Neil can ride to work and back, especially these days as he is really unhappy with his job. I hate it when he's unhappy. He's such an easy-going, happy-go-lucky kind of guy and such a kind and good man, he doesn't deserve to ever be unhappy. If anyone wants to hire him for a new job, let us know. You'd be awfully lucky to have him. His only major requirement is that he be able to commute to work on his bike.
