Illustration: On a riverside path, a cyclist has stopped and cups one hand beside his widely open mouth, calling toward a friend far ahead. His other hand holds up the friend’s dropped cap. The distant walker turns their head and raises an arm in acknowledgment, leaving a clear stretch of empty path between them.
