We don't have internet (gasp, no cable either) at our house which typically isn't a big problem since there are plenty of coffee shops near-by that offer free Wi-Fi. Last night we needed to use the internet for a bit so we set off for the nearest Wi-Fi coffee house. Only instead of us both going in a car, I rode my bike because I didn't want to stay long.
Although it wasn't raining very hard when I left my house it was pouring when I arrived. As I was locking up my bike this older gentleman was walking to his SUV and made a friendly comment about how this isn't ideal biking weather. I smiled and we briefly chatted about the rain as he made his way past. I thought nothing of the encounter and was heading toward the door when an SUV stopped beside me. It was the older gentleman. He asked if I wanted him to take me to my car so I could drive home rather than ride. I declined the offer but it made me think.
Denver has a different vibe and feel than any other city I've ever lived in. It is almost like a small town which just happens to have tons of people living in it. Maybe its because almost everyone is a transplant and remembers what it is like to not know many people or maybe its this awesome weather makes everyone happy. Whatever it is, I love it.
