cycling to work

I was talking to myself stopped at the lights yesterday with earbuds in.

I glanced to the left to see a another cyclist, just behind me, no earbuds.

"I'm sorry, I'm just talking to myself!" I said, embarrassed.

"It's ok, I didn't hear you" she said. "I have one earbud in, I sing all the time!"

"I have full conversations" I admitted, laughing.

"Have a nice day!" just before the lights changed. A nice way to end the small talk from a stranger.
