Thats the great thing about biking, you really get to slow down and enjoy the little nuances of life. I am, however, curious as to what the rest of the sticker had to say?
Alas, the car got away from me and I couldn't discern it - even in the photo at full size it's too blurry. Maybe one of our (six) loyal readers will have seen the sticker and be able to edify us.
I actually have seen that sticker before...when I was walking around "Celebrate! West Hartford." I can't remember what it says underneath it, but I do remember getting a closer look...I think it has something to do with the birds.
