wind in my shirt

biked to the library and back on saturday.

it felt like flying. not just because i was whizzing past all the pedestrians, but because the decision to do so was so spontaneous and i was out of the door and on the road before anyone could say anything. it was liberating! exhilarating! an adventure!

i think i was being a little like one of those irritating cyclists who don't look where they're going and almost collide with people. or jostle for space on the sidewalk.
why have they not built those cyclist paths they were promising a few years back? D:
the country is an ideal one - so small you could bike from one end to another (with a little effort). yet it's one of the most dangerous countries to bike in, because everything's so cramped you can't go at full speed for more than 500 metres.

i wish i were in japan. or holland. where cyclists are widely accepted and not terrorized out of their wits by motorists.


what's there not to like about bicycles, really?
