Monday Morning Ego Boost

A few months ago, I stumbled upon a Portuguese language Brazilian bicycling blog which featured a few of my comics. 
I was happy and blogged about it on my drawing blog :D
I happened to read that blog post of mine today and got another small dose of Ego Boost... And I was happy again :D 
Here are those comics:

Am I really setting the right example?

a couple of weeks ago, I was cycling out to meet a few friends and was stopped by a few school kids from nearby. They didn't know my name, so they screamed out 'tai' a few time till i heard them through my earphones blaring out music I like. I turned around and rode towards them and they asked me if they could ride my bike. And they offered me their fancy new bikes to test ride. 



Imagine... a twenty nine year old girl connecting with eleven year old kids over bicycles! 

They were continuously talking about their bikes and somewhere over the course of the conversation, I went from being 'Tai' to being 'Kaku'...
And then, the one kid who talked the least said to me: "I see you riding around here without holding the handlebar and fiddling with your phone."

Yes, I was shocked... I didn't know I was setting examples.
THE WRONG KINDS!
