Riding yesterday was short, yet very interesting. Susan Boyle, rich "Trophy Wife" as she calls herself. Rides a zebra striped E5 Specialized frame, with matching helmet and shoes. While I am on my "Bling Bling" bike, my gold orbea. The ride started off at Columbia College, which happens to be a very expensive school in a very poor neighborhood. Riding down the first street we pass some people sitting on the front porch of their house.. one yells "Holy shit." Three or four children see what they yelled that for and starts clapping and cheering for us.

My mouth dropped, I didn't know what was happening. These people are clapping and two chicks riding along on their road bikes. What is wrong with these people?

Than I realized it. This is todays society. My bike alone probably cost more than their daddy's car. Made me feel little at that moment, yet I was the one they were cheering for.
