Today is Ruby Tuesday, again.
It is hosted by the Teach at Work of the Poet. You can find links to many more red-themed photos over there.
Here we see my neighbor's bike helmet. Oh my goodness! I just realized that it's my friend, Mason's helmet. Mason and his family (his sister Taylor has been featured here a few times) moved a few weeks ago. As I was looking through my photos tonight, I saw the red helmet and thought, a-ha! not even thinking until about the owner of the helmet until my second read through. I sure hope they are settling into their new home. Mason is in the 8th grade, not an easy time of life for a school change.
Anyway........My town, Chico, CA, was named one of the top US bike towns back in 1997. I'm sure it's got to be even higher ranked now with bike paths are all over town, bike lanes on most major streets. When I first moved here, 15 years ago, I was nervous driving alongside the bikes. Now it's nothing - I give them room and we are okay. When I'm riding my bike, I make eye contact with the drivers, it's the only way that I can know that they see me. I teach my girls this, as well.
Happy Ruby Tuesday to you!

We have tons of bike paths here too. :) So grabbed your old neighbor's brightly colored helmet and come on up. :)
Oh Oh Askew, I hope that Mason doesn't read your blog. If he does you know what that means , eh? You've been caught harbouring his red helmet!!!
It sure made a nice picture though!
You know that little nephew of yours', Casey sure would have made a great Ruby Tuesday picture too.
It is just incredible how the color red always stands out to me now. And my favourite color is blue!
Have a great, great week...Love Terry
Terry, you are right, Casey would make a great Ruby Tuesday. :D
Mason's bike and helmet moved to WA with him, that's how I realized that it was his - it's no longer outside my window. I hope Mason is making good use of it in his new town. :D
