My wife is never usually less than 15 minutes away from me. She's usually shopping or running some errands and I usually stay around town when I go riding. Well, that morning I was out riding and there was a little bit of traffic, and I was in the bike lane, and I see a break in between cars, so I start slowing down and I guess the car saw me and they stopped and they waved.
