I decided to ride my bike this morning even though the weather wasn't amazing. I saw
(e:libertad) walking to work on North. I can never tell if that means I'm running really late or early.
Anyway I was riding down Fuhrmann when the wind and snow started picking up like crazy. A city truck was behind me so I pulled to the side to let him pass. The driver asked me if I was crazy, but I said "No, I'm just going to work."
He followed for a bit down to Tiftt before he honked and asked if I wanted a ride. I hate riding through Lackawanna in the snow since they never plow. So I threw my bike in the bed and got in. It turned out it was the Buffalo DPW commissioner Stephen Stepniak. He told me I was freaking crazy but he liked that I had guts. Once he found out where I worked he told me to send a resume to his office in City Hall.
So the moral of the story is take rides from strangers because how else are you going to network?

The ride back was real nice. I even had a good experience at Rick's for once after I stopped there for new brakes.
Poor baby!
So sad to see him broken.
