This guy and I talked about riding around the city and how much fun it is. He took off down 3rd st. and I kept going. We'll see each other again on Market St. and we'll have someone new to wave to.
These two were on their way somewhere and taking the opportunity to people watch at the red light.
Maybe he needed to pick up his bike somewhere and she was heading over there with him.
You just know this lady has sons and she took one of their bikes to get out with her daughter. I love all of those clips in the girl's hair! I bet they click like the spoke beads we all used to put on our bikes.
Sometimes you have to make your own parking. Unless you have a skateboard, in which case you can park in your messenger bag.
One of the great joys of human powered transportation, any kind, is what you get to see- everyday people, doing everyday things and making the world a more beautiful place in the doing.
Interaction with people, seeing things that you wouldn't see if you drove are what make a bike ride so much more fun! You are absolutely right!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice post - thought provoking!!
Peace :)
Cycle Normal is just as lovely as Cycle Chic. :)
ReplyDeleteRight on Adrienne! Lovely captures of the city on wheels but absolutely, everyday and ordinary cycling is the future. Indeed, I do believe that 'cycle chic' in Denmark is just 'ordinary chic' that happens to be on two wheels, because they have the right conditions for cyclists to be able to do that there. It's getting better all the time in so many places and I'm glad that such a rich tapestry of people get and love cycling. It rocks!
