Riding in the Rain (with Umbrella)

Seen while walking the dog, Sunday morning

This fellow was slowly making his way on the sidewalk, umbrella in hand, early Sunday morning as I was walking the dog. I have seen this in photos of people riding in the Netherlands but a little unusual here. Presumably he was on his way to work and probably wishing he had a car. Some cycle riders I see pretty clearly would prefer that transportation option.

Poor quality of photo result of poor quality of camera in cheap phone, alas.


What the fellow needed, I suppose - patent application made in 1896
