in downtown Bethesda...



my Sunday ride was less than intense
far from breaking a sweat I rode with a backpack on my back and a camera slung around my neck

when I exited the tunnel under the Air Rights Building in downtown Bethesda I saw this tandem heading the opposite direction of my intention
I had to chase them down to get the shot
as I rolled along side of them I asked, "can document the only time a man and woman have ever ridden a tandem without there being a fight"
or something to that effect

they were welcoming to the photo and they found my impression of couples on tandems to be humorous

they seemed like a delightful couple
our encounter was short
but in that short exchange I got the impression that I liked them
