the tour de O and D trail


the serious bikers,
you have
to watch out for on the path.
they have their costumes on.
bright yellows and reds
with
numbers
on their back.
their bike shoes strapped
into the pedals.
helmets with cameras.
water bottles within
reach, clocks and odometers.
gps gizmos
attached to their handlebars.
they are on a mission.
in a race.
bent forward, determined
to get somewhere
to not be late.
crazy and dangerous
while they whizz by you
bending to tie a lace.
