it's like riding a bike
May 25, 2010
A few days off the bike helped me realize how much I enjoy cycling. Not just the act of riding a bike, but the independence, the efficiency and the utility of cycling in the city. On Bike-to-Work day I wasn’t working, I didn't ride a bike and I actually spent more time in a car than I ever do. As well as more time walking, bus riding, light rail taking, taxi hailing, plane flying, tank of gas buying and finally asking various family members to drive me around Westchester County like soccer moms.
Utility cycling is not asking for a ride.
Utility cycling is avoiding the waxy yellow buildup that builds up on the exterior of human bodies waiting for public transportation.
Utility cycling is cleaning out the plaque that accumulates after accommodating everybody’s schedule except your own.
Utility cycling is like riding a bike.
