This afternoon/evening I met some friends but we had to say goodbye. James is leaving too. It was the last time I saw him. Now that both him and Brad are gone 🙁 I will be the lonely foreigner showing up to the rides of the Beijing Fixed Gear bike group. Another cycling friend is moving back home and had his goodbye party tonight. He was showing the 45 minute video he had taken with a handlebar camera on his daily commute to work. That really shows the feeling of riding in Beijing traffic. Vehicles and people can suddenly approach you from random directions. And another friend had a party but it was just because he moved into a new apartment. Even though he will leave in September.
