The Lazy Bike Ride and Cocktail
Have a bike? Great. Like to ride it? That’s good too. But when was the last time you really just tooled around your neighborhood for no reason other than you wanted to ride your bike at some ridiculously slow speed, weaving whenever you wanted to? I think I was eight years old. Until last night.
Here’s how to do this.
1. Download Pandora on your cell phone.
Create a station for: “In the Court of King Oliver” by Wynston Marsalis. Insert headphones. Launch Station.
2. Make a cocktail
Put it in your favorite flask. Here’s what I use:
***Ginger Gin Martini***
Put ice in a shaker
Peel and grate about a table spoon of fresh ginger over the ice
Brokers Gin
Splash of Vermouth
Shake well and strain out any big chunks of ginger.
3. Hop on your bike.
Ride at a lazy pace. Don’t get in traffic. Sip cocktail when you can. Master the art of keeping a bike steady while getting a flask in and out of your pocket, opening and closing it, and not falling over into the gutter.
4. Stop every once in awhile to enjoy views.
While stopped and attempting to take a really crappy cell phone pic… and a random hippie chick wearing a one less car t-shirt also stops and asks you: “Do you need any help?,” take another swig and reply politely: “No thanks, you?”
