STRANGE TRAVELERS (OTHER)
This is a fellow cyclist who was traveling from Tucson, Az to Sacramento, California. The picture doesn't show him clearly. He had an old mountain bike probably from K-Mart two owners ago. The trailer was tied on with rope, had mismatched wheels, and a tie dye cover. He had water bottles, sleep mat, and extra shoes tied to the sides.
This guy was not a sport cyclist but in my mind he was as much a cyclist as anyone. He had a smile and a upbeat attitude about the hills he had climbed and was about to climb. I asked if he was moving there but he said he was just sight seeing. I suspect he also had a pound of weed packed away and by the looks of it he would run short before he reached Sacramento.
If it has two wheels you are part of the culture in my opinion. Roadies are snobs coast to coast with few exceptions. I make a point of greeting every cyclist I meet along the way no matter how ill-equipped or stoned.
