Okay, I’m going to have to forego one of these points. The prizes are not worth my ending up in the hospital, which is what would happen. And then I wouldn’t even get the points, because I’d fail the “Not crash after taking the picture” part.

Carol, You can get 1 point for a Panda!

3/16/21 – Panda or Danger Panda

Just in case I couldn’t be balanced enough for a danger shot, I also cycled by the zoo for their panda iconography and Ben’s Chili Bowl for its Panda-mania artwork. It would have been impressive to get that in a Danger Panda picture, but U Street is not the place for that.

Oh, I will. I said I’d forego one point, not two.

A place in Wheaton close to where I used to work.

I’d also like to add that it stinks to be unpopular in this game!

I’m skipping the Panda today. [emoji209] But I remember that someone (can’t remember who) was still looking for a yellow Mercedes. I spotted one for you on Four Mile Run Drive.

Just like Mtansill I found a nice wide quiet road and practiced the position until I found my confidence!

I assume if you don’t even have handlebars, it counts

3/16/21 Danger Panda

Well, since brain surgery in 2017 I’ve struggled to find balance as I have double vision in certain quadrants of my visual field. But I do know how to ride sans hands and was happily doing that back and forth as I followed the same path as others practicing. The worst place for me to look while riding is up to my right – which of course, being right handed is what I need to do for an overhead danger panda. And because I was pedaling at the time, you can’t see part of my bike (i.e., the top tube). I pushed my boundaries for balance, didn’t crash doing it, checked it off my ‘accomplishments’ list, and raised a toast to Pete. In my book, that was a good day. I’m not in the “top 4” where an extra point will make the difference, so if this doesn’t count, I’m okay with it.

3/16/21- DANGER ⚠️ PANDA

After spending at least a half an hour on a low traffic side road (with more distractions than expected like some homeless guys pretending to be me, FedEx or whoever, jay walkers, etc.) and scaring myself 💩 less a few times, almost falling, I finally decided to throw common sense to the wind and go with momentum. The secret is in picking up some speed, learning the angles and phone while still and going for it. Speed made all the difference, but so unintuitive. You can see some of my top bar. Once is enough for me for today. So many pics on the side road didn’t get the right angle or any of the bike or hand.

This panda is part of DC art project under Tony Williams’ mayoral time. Fun fact, we share the same birthdate month, day, and YEAR! What a phenomenal coincidence! Enjoy my China Doll!
