November 1, 2024 – Went for a bike ride before going to the Cathedral for All Saints Day that my son took part off. Funny thing happened in the Subway going home. We were running down the stairs, we saw a train in the platform that was about to close the door. I told Mon, we wont make it, but he said come-on, then the train closed the door-then suddenly opened it again, thats when we ran towards the door. Mon was holding a half-eaten McDouble sandwich, so when he crossed the opening of the train the door started closing. His shoulders shrugged the door and he dropped the sandwich which fell flat on the ground. He picked it up and we looked at each other laughing. Everyone in the train saw what happened. We started walking in the other end of the train to look for seats. After sitting down, i asked him if he felt embarrassed because he dropped his half-eaten burger. He said no.

Twenty-Seventh Sunday week in ordinary time.
First reading from the Book of Genesis 2:18-24
The LORD God said: “It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a suitable partner for him.”
So the LORD God formed out of the ground
various wild animals and various birds of the air,
and he brought them to the man to see what he would call them;
whatever the man called each of them would be its name.
The man gave names to all the cattle,
all the birds of the air, and all wild animals;
but none proved to be the suitable partner for the man.
So the LORD God cast a deep sleep on the man,
and while he was asleep,
he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.
The LORD God then built up into a woman the rib
that he had taken from the man.
When he brought her to the man, the man said:
“This one, at last, is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
this one shall be called ‘woman, ‘
for out of ‘her man’ this one has been taken.”
That is why a man leaves his father and mother
and clings to his wife,
and the two of them become one flesh.
Second reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the Hebrews 2:9-11
Brothers and sisters:
He “for a little while” was made “lower than the angels, ”
that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
For it was fitting that he,
for whom and through whom all things exist,
in bringing many children to glory,
should make the leader to their salvation perfect through suffering.
He who consecrates and those who are being consecrated
all have one origin.
Therefore, he is not ashamed to call them “brothers.”
From the Gospel according to Mark 10:2-16
The Pharisees approached Jesus and asked,
“Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?”
They were testing him.
He said to them in reply, “What did Moses command you?”
They replied,
“Moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce
and dismiss her.”
But Jesus told them,
“Because of the hardness of your hearts
he wrote you this commandment.
But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother
and be joined to his wife,
and the two shall become one flesh.
So they are no longer two but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together,
no human being must separate.”
In the house the disciples again questioned Jesus about this.
He said to them,
“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another
commits adultery against her;
and if she divorces her husband and marries another,
she commits adultery.”
And people were bringing children to him that he might touch them,
but the disciples rebuked them.
When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them,
“Let the children come to me;
do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to
such as these.
Amen, I say to you,
whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child
will not enter it.”
Then he embraced them and blessed them,
placing his hands on them.
St. Michael the Archangel,
Defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness
And snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him we humbly pray;
And do Thou, O Prince of the
Heavenly Host, by the Power of God,
Cast into hell Satan and all evil Spirits,
Who prowl about the world
Seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Single speed bikes my preference, cost , simplicity, and a great
way to commute in the city. I've got one bike with drop bars and other with flat bar. Flat bar seems to give more control when maneuvering in tight areas and might be better in bad conditions like snow
and rain
.
Thanks for sharing. I'm currently recovering from a tendinitis in my foot so watching this felt nice.
