On a rural county road, there is only the breath whisper of a breeze, innumerable Cicada castanets clapping, and clumsy grasshoppers collide with spokes and fenders, pinging like a child's toy piano.
I went through a field last year and felt like I was being attacked by grasshoppers from every side. Yes, they went 'ping' as they flew into my spokes.
Wow, that's nice!
ReplyDeleteDo you guys ever get those huge grasshoppers where you are? The ones that are (from my childhood memory at least) about 4" long and 1/2" thick?

ReplyDeleteThere was one of those guys looking at my bike when I locked up a couple of days ago. He didn't scare away easily, either...
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the big ones, another reason to wear a helmet.
