Comments: This was what I needed! My day stank, I'm feeling blue as hell, tons of stress, I have not ridden in ages and after work I got to crank the iPod and spin.

Riding with music is like floating. You are somewhat removed from what is going on around you but in a good way.

I was cruising along and it felt like the wind was always at my back. :) Walking across the Ballard locks was fun too. the smells, the tourists, a TON of commuters (kinda surprised me) and I got all the direct bridges and did not have to walk east or west.

Climbing up into Discovery Park I passed some dude on a Davidson and then descending through Magnolia I passed two guys on road bikes. Nice.

After dropping down from the Magnolia bridge I got to ride up and over the pedestrian overpass, I LOVE that stuff. The switchbacks of the ramp, the bridge, urban riding can be tons of fun - especially on a town bike!

I got to smell the clove cigarettes as I rode past the Bauhaus Cafe. :)
