Disconnected in Brooklyn: Biking Drunk, Confused About Bridge

June 8th, 2008 · 1 Comment

So, here’s a bicycling-related Sunday Missed Connection that doesn’t have to do with near misses or being run down, but with drunk biking (and seeming confusion of the Williamsburg Bridge with the Brooklyn Bridge). Here we go:

Glad you wear a helmet, but you should really get blinky lights! – m4w – 27 (Kent under the bklyn bridge)
Hey you! I was biking around 3am on this Saturday night, going home all buzzed and happy from dancing, standing up on the pedals to catch that breeze and keep cool, when I saw you ahead of me. I thought to myself, “man it totally sucks that I would be a total creep to talk to this girl while we’re riding!” Thus decided, I passed you without comment. (Though I was thinking “HI! I’m drunk. I love biking drunk. La la la” and “Man, I’m glad that girl is wearing a helmet, but she needs some lights! Safety first.”) But yes, I forced myself to not be weird and talk to you. Until you greeted me with a simple “sup”

I looked back and there you were, black dress, basket, happily biking along. 🙂 I managed to say “hey!!!!” and then biked away, afraid to appear weird by starting a conversation. But here I am, home, and I can’t get you out of my head. Even if you never write back, go you for actually being friendly! But if you do see this… do you want to go fly kites in the park and bike to the beach? Bye~

Safety first, indeed.

    Weird is not talking to her and then lamely posting a Missed Connection on Craig’s List.
