Cycling Perks

Cycling has many perks. It’s good for my body and soul. It keeps me calmer, more centered, less stressed, and definitely fitter. It saves me no small amount of cash on gas. I’ve even been told I look good in lycra.

I feel as though I’m doing my small part to save the world, while simultaneously feeling more a part of the world. The sights, the sounds, (most of) the smells… calling various animals by name to alert them of my presence lest we startle or injure one another; “Hey now, Mr. Crow Bird”… “Watch it, squirrell!”… “Careful there Mr. Chipmunk”… “Hold your line there, Mr. Bunny Rabbit”… “What the Hell do you vultures think you’re looking at?!”

There are other perks that aren’t quite so obvious. The found objects for one. Lately it’s been a cavalcade of small wrenches and sockets, mini MagLites, DVD’s and video tapes!

I love my bikes and all of the possibilities that they present!
