An Unexpected Side Effect of Riding a Ural
While I was out poking around on the Ural Sunday morning, I realized that when people would see me coming down the road – they’d often smile. I picked up on it many times. People in cars, walking on the street, bicycle riders – smiling at me. Or, more accurately, smiling at the orange Ural.
I can’t say I’ve had many people just smile at me while I’m riding the Tiger down the road or while I was waiting to pull out of a side street. There is just something about that bright orange contraption that really seems to resonate with people.
I can’t lie – it is pretty awesome to have strangers be happy when they look your way. Every smile made me feel like a million bucks.
And why wouldn’t they smile! That is such an awesome bike ridden by such an amazing human being!
Random acts of love – I LOVE IT!!!!
I smile every time I see a picture of it 🙂

I think they are smiling at YOU first, then they notice your Orange Ural . . .

So every time you get on the Ural, just tell hubby “I’m going out to spread some love”
Heck I’m smiling now just seeing it over the interweb.
Sweet! Agreeing with all the comments!
They will be smiling at you first… but the orange is definitely something to put one in a good mood, especially now that colours are fading into grey and soon enough white.
Everyone smiling when you pass by? Did the hubby not mention you have lipstick all over your teeth when you left the house?
