Subject: Cowbell Revolution: UpdateA while back, I posted about a Cowbell Revolution. It'd be a way for us to spread some good athlete vibes to each other. I can't speak for my wife, but I've loved the smiles, waves, and positive feedback I've gotten from cyclists. We've been "belling" quite a few riders, and it's been a lot of fun! A few weeks ago, I was driving back from work on a road called Southwest Parkway. It has 3 lanes in each direction with a large median between them. The shoulder is pretty good, and I usually see a few cyclists out there. As I came to the base of a hill, I saw a cyclist working his way up. I grabbed my cowbell, put my hand through my moonroof and started clanging. I looked back at him in my mirror and he had a huge smile on his face. He gave a quick wave and kept working his way up and over the hill. Another day, my wife and I passed a group of cyclists. She rolled down the passenger window and started clanging some support. They all smiled and picked up the pace a bit. As they caught us at a stoplight, the lead cyclist smiled and said, "Cowbell... Always need more cowbell." We all cracked up. So... are YOU part of the Cowbell Revolution? -Joel |
