Bad decision. After using the velos all over the city for awhile, for some reason one evening, Lucie and I decided to take the metro back to her apartment. Some weird stuff had happened shortly before that and the energy wasn't so good. Then, in the middle of a tunnel, the metro stopped and the electricity went off. People on metros throughout the world always look so bored to me and like they don't care at all, while I always spend time being nosy and checking out the other people around me on metros, maybe because the novelty of them hasn't worn off yet. This was the first moment on a metro though that I've been on where people started looking around and wondering what was going on. An announcement came that there was some sort of accident on the tracks ahead of us and we couldn't go forward, so after a few more minutes of the lights going on and off in the metro tunnel, we went back to the station where we started. As we had to get across town, couldn't take the metro, and didn't want to take a bus or taxi, we decided to do the velos. Lucie didn't have enough money on her bank card to get a new one-day pass, but I still had mine from the day before, so it was 2 girls, 1 bike.
I sat on the back first while Lucie pedaled, still in her office attire, while I struggled to keep my bum from sliding to the front of the seat to give her an inch or two of space to sort of sit on my lap. Then we switched spots after awhile. I don't think anyone looked twice. I don't know, I didn't look.
Another time I had to ride home barefoot the day my sandal broke. Hippie.
