Have you ever gone down the Walnut St. bridge when they have that speed-measuring thing out and you're the only moving object for it to track? I must admit, there really is something special about that moment when it flashes red, and you can say that you have, on an unwieldy and worthless Huffy, broken the speed limit for cars. I commend you on your night-time bike rides.

Thanks for the poem. For non-Sinologue readers, I'd translate it, loosely, as: 风萧萧兮易水寒 The wind blows and blows, and the frigid waters churn; 费城夜半何曾安. Whenever where the late-night streets of Philly really safe? 街头四望人虽静, Although on the streets, there seems no cause for concern, 车子失魂不留鞍. Your bike will be jacked, with not even the bike seat left. Ha! Thanks for the poem.

For non-Sinologue readers, I’d translate it, loosely, as:

风萧萧兮易水寒
The wind blows and blows, and the frigid waters churn;
费城夜半何曾安.
Whenever where the late-night streets of Philly really safe?
街头四望人虽静,
Although on the streets, there seems no cause for concern,
车子失魂不留鞍.
Your bike will be jacked, with not even the bike seat left.

I used to ride my bike from 17th and spring garden risingsun & roosevelt at night, usual after 10pm. It was quite a different experience and feeling. :-) I got a fate tire once in the temple neighborhood, and I happened to have no money for the bus fair. :-( Since then, I doubled tire everyone of my bike. 风萧萧兮易水寒, 费城夜半何曾安.

And then some joker fell asleep on a bench in Central Park, and the class lost another hour looking for him. Good post; <irony> can't wait to get my bike back </irony>. Keep checking the second-hand bike shops.
