The Joy Of Human Powered Motion
I miss riding my bike. I really do. When I lived in Austin, I lived on my bike. It was my sole source of transport. I was like some sort of cyborg with a human top half, and a bicycle for legs. Anyone who has ever lived in Austin knows that there are three things true about the place. Its hot, it has a lot of hills, and some people drive very large cars. All of which made for an amazing time ridding your bike (I mean that, I loved the challenge). It seems I am not the only one with a love for the pure simple joy of the bicycle.

(this one is a bike race, messengers are a whole other breed of riders, do not try this at home)
(speaking of things to not try at home, amazing)
Now these are all people who have dedicated a goodly portion of their lives to riding. However if they can do this, we can ride our bikes to work.
