Arched, tense, vigilant
Human flywheel seeks refuge,
Corridor of sage.
Bicycling to work is fun but
slightly treacherous. You
must keep your wits about
you and look at every car
as the enemy and every
driver as a lackadaisical,
zero attention span, texting
and drinking coffee and
watching the latest hulu
version of Grey's Anatomy
on an iphonewhile putting on
mascara idiot. But, when I hit the
dedicated corridor for
bikes only, the one that
runs along the railroad
tracks and smells like sage
and is garnished with
copious amounts of daisies
and bunnies, ahhh, that's
when I can relax and really
enjoy the purr of the wheel
and the tunes of the songbirds.
We need more dedicated
bicycle paths. Perhaps then
there would be fewer cars
using less oil......No, I can't
think about that awful oil
eruption right now.

seriously, i think about how dangerous it is to be on the road in any capacity because of all of the idiots.
stay safe!! but - kudos to you on the biking. nice effort. i'll do my part by sitting here in front of the computer.
I wonder if you could come up with an attachment out the side of the bike with spikes on it that would scrape up any cars that get too close... Ill fabricate something if you want to try it! Until then, wear your helmet, stay safe and remember you will be on a dedicated trail for days on end in very short order. you da bomb!
