The weather was eh, the paths were clear, and Tony was mostly comfortable with his biking leggings and helmet, which were teal and don't-fucking-hit-me yellow. He was there a couple minutes before his biking partner, probably because he treated speed limits like well-meaning suggestions, so he finished off his double shot soy latte and read the news on his phone. The news was good lately, everything but the weather. Things were okay.

Except the geese were back and crapping up the lake in the park, and he hated geese, but whatever, things were okay.

Tony looked up when he heard bike wheels spinning in his direction.

"Look, I got a new outfit. Just for you."

"All three seems reasonable enough to me," Karen says with a shrug, taking the hoodie he's offered her gratefully. It may not be too cold, but she would rather err on the side of keeping warm, especially when they don't know how long they'll have until the rain lets up. She's just glad he thought to get them to the picnic area when he did. Chances are, on her own, it wouldn't have even occurred to her to find somewhere covered, and she would be out there getting drenched right now, a far from appealing prospect. There are worse things than getting caught in the rain on occasion, but getting caught in the rain on a bike is not something she'd care to experience anytime soon. "I mean, being out of the habit is easy enough to fix, but if you don't give a shit about it, is it really worth the effort?"
