last night

I was riding home last night, enjoying the exercise, enjoying the cold but not too cold air, loving the look of my city all lit up and quiet on a Monday night. I was over half way when I wondered why cycling home tonight felt better than usual. Then I realised I had completely forgotten my helmet and that wonderful alive sensation was because I had the wind in my hair. The rest of the lovely ride home was somewhat undermined by my brain running through excuses for why I was cycling without a helmet in case I should be stopped!
