Going on a leisurely weekend bike ride is pretty interesting in my neighborhood. Five minutes from great shopping lie great residential streets and the forest-like Greenway with its paved paths, bridges and scenic views.

Sunday Cycling
I really enjoy getting out the 'commuter bike' and tooling around the neighborhood. What I especially like is the way my preferred route goes from my suburban streets to winding woodland paths to genteel estates to bustling North Hills shopping. -With leisurely peddling, I can cover all of this in under a half an hour.

Why is your basket empty, Mr. Trad? The nothingness makes me sad.
Southern Flounder,
That comment, my friend, is awesome.
Ah, but you don't know what is contained inside the beautiful Swiss leather and canvas panier, do you?
A 12-pack of Red White & Blue and a large bag of Cheetos?
Southern Flounder is a real poet.
Chuck,
As in Chuck Schick of Harvard Law School? Are you clerking for The Judge this summer?
Five passports, 16 Kruggerand, and two bottles of '82 Lafite?
Mr. Millbarge,
No, that is what's in The Russian Trader's panier. -Or in his sea bag when he's hopping on board a tramp steamer.
I respect a man who need not place his wordly posessions on display. Keep the basket empty, Mr. Trad, it will ensure you always have a place to quickly stash your new found treasure.
BTW - Upon information and belief, Russina Trader may actually be none other than the infamous Keyser Soze. Moreover, his two bottles of 97 point claret are likely fake - something he may have received in trade from that Chinese fellow with the eye patch and lilac Charvet cravat.
I believe Southern Flounder is mistaken, as that's neither an eye patch nor a Charvet cravat. He's wearing, respectively, a monocle and an extra wide tie that he bought on sale (2 for $39) at Charles Tyrwhitt.
Also - and this is probably just another one of those "we all grew up together in Culpeper County" inside jokes - but Keyser Soze is a fictitional character played by Kevin Spacey. Russian Trader is very real...I had breakfast with him at the Royal in Old Town. Twice. In the same afternoon.
Damn, fake claret.
Hey Chuck. Where you been?
Fake fake Keyser sold me fake wine?! Should have known by someone wearing Charles Tyrwhitt tie!
Do all Culpeper Co inside jokes involve livestock?
I am selling - and Russian Trader you should pay special attention to this - 7 bottles of 1975 Manischewitz (given to me by Abe Beame) and a tarnished key to the city. Also, an autographed photo of Grandpa Al Lewis sitting on Ed Koch's lap - it's kind of creepy and I really don't want it in my office anymore.
If you have a few flannel shirts and some vinyl Decemberists albums in the pannier I would be digging that ride.
The real question is do all Culpeper County family photos involve livestock?
The beauty of being from the Northeast - aside from the fact that we're from the Northeast - is that we are generally not subject to jokes about sodomy.
That said, where the heck are Jim Dandy, Bucky Buford & Mildred?
Mr. Czervik,
What time is Chuck due back in boys Town?
Russian Trader,
Don't knock Charles Tyrwhitt stuff. It's almost like Thomas Pink. Which is almost like Turnbull & Asser.
Mr. Ghost,
You have quite an inventory. -Have you ever thought of opening an online Etsy shop?
Mssrs. C. Redneck and J. Tomatoes,
Of course our livestock are included in all Culpeper County family jokes and photos. How else could we accurately show off our dowries?
I enjoy your blog, Mr. Trad, but in the name of all things sacred, please do not allow "Charles Tyrwhitt" and "Turnball & Asser" to appear in the same line of text again - ever - it is rumored that, upon reading your comment, a stent needed to be placed in Prince Charles' left ventricle.
BTW, I recently had lunch with the Russian Trader at the White Spot - I had no idea he had just served as the interim president of UVA. Crazy, huh?
A tired old sheep and a cow that don't milk, does not a dowry make.
But one great dog, bourbon and smoldering logs, are awaiting ya'll beside the lake.
Any plans for the first annual Trailer Trad camp out?
Damn, I thought it was J. Crew is almost like Brooks Brothers is almost like Men's Wearhouse is almost like Jos. A. Bank. But I could be scoring Brooks Brothers too highly there.
Alas, Brooks Brothers is dead to me.
BTW, I have a five pound can of corn - with some slight rust around the edges - that I can contribute to any future camp out.
