Riding a bike through a construction zone can often be a little challenging. Even when the road construction workers have planned ahead to get parking restrictions and cones set up and traffic flaggers in place it seems they all too often forget about the fact that bicycles pass along these roads, too.
I experienced this today. As I approached the construction zone I noticed the flagman’s face twist in uncertainty. But, to his credit, he recovered quickly and directed me through with a smile and a wave. As I passed by he noticed the empty child seat on the back of the bike - Where’s the baby? he called out. I’m gonna go getter, I responded…
And that I did. We returned, Maz&I, along the same route in reverse…
By then the road workers were on lunch break—but not far from the road. We, Maz&I, zipped along, downhill this time. Our construction friend from earlier waved first this time and as we passed by he called out, There she is!
It was really quite a nice moment…

That's pretty great - I hope that she gave him one of her charming smiles (which are cute right now but in 10 years... Trouble!).
Thanks, Kristina. I hope she gave him a charming smile, too, but I don't know if she did or not because she sits behind me on the bike...
