I am supposed to ride a bicycle from a lunch spot to my mother’s apartment behind the Walker Art Center. There is a bike path that goes through Worth Park and then onto city streets. My mother gives me a map and tells me I’ll be fine.
I am nervous about biking through the city and especially about riding in traffic. But after a while I get the hang of it and am able to get through the traffic. It’s a beautiful fall day and it is exhilarating to move so quickly down the streets on my own power.
I meet Vincent for lunch at a little cafe. I encourage him to eat something but he seems uneasy, like he needs to get out of there. He says he has to get back to his kids.
