I’m always amused by all the different stuff I see while riding. Even places where I’ve ridden through at least a couple hundred times, I’ll see something new. Like beaches, the streets are in a constant state of flux. Today, at 6:15am, I saw a flattened can of Rockstar at a stoplight. It wasn’t there yesterday, and it probably won’t be there tomorrow morning. I’ve ridden with a number of people who say that they have to change up their routes regularly in order to not get bored while riding. I understand what they’re getting at, but at the same time, with everything always changing… I wonder how anyone can get bored.
A few years ago, when I started riding again, I told a friend of mine that I wanted to carry my camera with me wherever I went on my bike, with the explanation that perspective on a bike seems so different from that on foot or in a car. This blog is kind of an extension of what I told that friend. But it’s true, in a lot of ways, that there’s something about riding a bike that just can’t be matched through other modes of transportation.
Today’s rides felt good. I was, after all, well rested. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow and throughout the rest of the week.
