We live down the street from Guthrie Bicycle. That won’t be the case for long because this fall they are moving to a new building on 800 East, but for now, we still live down the street from a bike store. The weather is getting nice. I can tell because people are testing bikes.

They ride up and down my street and I watch them from my window. The tags announcing the prices and features of the bike flutter in the air as they speed past me. Sometimes one person will test several bikes, but usually it’s a one ride affair. I see them ride north, turn around and ride south and disappear to the front of the building.

I never see them again and I never know if they bought the bike or not…
