I like to bike around my town. It is so much fun! Do you like to bike as well, if you can?

Yeah, biking is cool. It's quicker than walking, yet still relaxed, and more fun than being in a coffin.. er, car I mean :) Well, as long as it don't rain it is.

Here in Holland we have cities with big parts of the center designated only for bikes and footpeople.

I believe people with cars don't like to leave the safe environment of their home, so they have to stay in doors even when outside. Having their car-stereos close by to start making noises when the voices in their head start saying; it's a beautiful world outside of your car, but you'll only know when you take part in it.

i both ride and build bikes.  i love it.  i'm no racer and can't do a lot of tricks, but something about slapping the headphones on and pedaling off is freeing.

 I was messing around a bit. I don't have a car myself. I find it a handy invention though. I just don't like people who take their car out in public and force everyone to participate in listening to their music. I've thought of a good reason for them to do so, but can't think of anything else but territoriality or a lack of being able to be outside without creating a personalized environment in which they force all other people around them to participate. Headphones and volume knobs were invented for a reason. And any music sounds like crap if you only hear the low frequencies, crappy music even more so.

It's hard for me describe how bicycling has allowed me to see the city and world in a whole different way.  I love it, for health, for saving money, for fun, for the girlies.

Winter is coming, even more fun to be had...!

I should probably go for a ride and get off this damned computer.
