Lights On

This morning I was cycling about an hour earlier than normal because I was attending a gym class. This was the first journey this winter that required my bike lights.

When I first looked out I was disheartened. I didn't want to go out in the dark. I didn't want to cycle in the cold and windy morning. I was really tempted to use the car.

But I didn't. And I am glad. Once I started to move, it was pleasant. Fun. The weather wasn't anywhere near as bad as I had initially thought. It was actually quite mild. Cycling with the bike lights projecting in front of me was a fun experience. When approaching the refinery, with all the towers and lights, I had visions of the film Tron.

Though it was probably good that my bike didn't leave a wall behind it.
