Where shouldSaturday's ride go?
All notesForty riders, one map
Lena asked the shop's riders to pick the route. They drew a city she'd never seen.
I taped the question to the shop door on a Monday. By Friday the route had planned itself.
“Along the lagoon before the sun gets serious.” Kofi
“Past the bakery that opens at six. Trust me.” Someone
“Up the hill nobody likes, then never again.” Abena
“Somewhere with shade for the slow ones. Me.” Someone
“End where we started so everyone gets home.” Selasi
I've ridden this city for ten years. They showed me half of it.
