Summer's Quiet Roads

This morning as I rode in to work, the roads were quiet and relatively deserted. I even glanced at my watch to check what time it was, thinking maybe I had left earlier than I thought. Nope, usual time. It wasn't until I passed the deserted local elementary school that it finally dawned on me what was going on. School's out for the summer. Yesterday I was riding on the road with a bunch of mini-vans and station wagons late for school, late for work and today it was blissfully quiet.

After I dropped my bike off at my locker, I walked through the company parking garage. It too was emptier than normal. People were enjoying the change in routine I guess. So nice.
