This morning on my way to work I saw the most amusing sight. It was, by far, the highlight of my day in that it offered me an unexpected giggle that lasted a few blocks of my commute.
Before I describe this scene, please keep in mind that it was about 18 degrees out. Cool for a mid-summer's day, but still balmy and getting warmer as the sun began to share its morning warmth.
The gentleman was older - I would guess late 50's into his 60's. He was wearing blue shorts (shorter than they should have been too!) and on his torso he wore a long sleeved wind-breaker looking coat. Now, I wouldn't have thought anything of it until I saw the rest of his outfit. The rest of his outfit, well, it struck me and I had to take a second glance. Now, the coat looked a lot more like a light ski jacket. Who wears a ski jacket in the middle of summer, even if it is a wee bit cooler out than normal?
Why did I have a double-take? This gentleman had a pair of ski goggles on with a toque!! Big, bold and orange lenses just below a big blue toque.
So toque, goggles, a ski jacket and shorts on the bike.
Very amusing. I giggled for at least two blocks as I passed him.
Thank you mister Goggled Cyclist for making me smile first thing this morning.
Moments of surprise.
Moments of silliness.
