The one that got away

Yesterday I did forget to ask one participant if he minded having his photo taken before departing on the bike. What happened is that I asked first of all if he spoke English, to which he answered "yes, a little". Then I simply asked if he could ride my bike to the other side, thinking that this would lead to a longer conversation about the project. But instead, he simply took the bike from my grasp and cycled off across the bridge. I was quite relieved to hear from Will 10 or 15 minutess later that he had reached the other side, and that we were still in possession of the bike!
