Pedaling Backwards

About a year ago I was driving down Snelling--a street that some might consider an unlikley place for small, stupid, and beautiful things, but a prime locale in my mind--and listening to The White Stripes. As I cruised through the intersection of University and Snelling, I saw a man, in-between two zooming lanes of traffic, on his bike pedaling backwards, completely stationary. The effect was mirage-like; moving yet unmoving, safe amidst a dangerous flowing mechanical river. Beautiful.
