Bike to Work Day

Arguably, Colorado's "Bike to Work Day," (which for some reason is separate from the rest of the country's BtoW day) is one of the greenest days of the year.

Needless to say the bike paths worked hard today.
They worked up a sweat.
They deserved a shower.
It's only fair.

The Problem with Timers

The previous night in Boulder it rained...a lot.

The day before that, rain.

Last week, yeah, lots of rain.


And I just picked one spot of this street to photograph.
At least three other blocks had offenders.

Wind + High Angle = Wet Face, Sidewalk, Street

The problem here isn't necessarily the positioning of the sprinkler, it's the angle with which it's spewing. The wind picked it up at the top of its trajectory and blew water everywhere...including all over my face. You can see the blowback in the picture.

But enough about the erratic sprinkler. Poor, abandoned bike.
