Charlie Pointing

I had a pretty full weekend. First, I went to PodCamp Philly. That was really great. There are some smart people out there, even if some of it felt a little bit like a ham radio operators convention from time to time.

This morning, Charlie and I, along with 4,000 of our closest friends, rode in Bike Philly. For two hours in Philadelphia today there were no cars on the boulevards. We talked about what it would take to keep cars out of the city all the time. It was so peaceful riding from the Art Museum down to Old City, to Queen’s Village and up to Strawberry Mansion, without a care about careless drivers. I did the 20 mile route, Charlie went for the 50. The picture above tells why the difference.

That’s Charlie at the head of the fast riders showing the way. I went over to the sign and posed, too. I held my hand over the ‘s’ in ‘Fast.” Yep, I was in the line for “Fat Riders.” 😉
