“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.”
Sherlock Holmes author, Arthur Conan Doyle, 1896
“Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.”
John F. Kennedy
«Quand les esprits sont bas, quand le jour semble sombre, quand le travail devient monotone, quand l'espoir ne vaut guère la peine, il suffit de monter à vélo et de faire un tour sur la route, sans penser à autre chose qu'à la promenade que vous faites. "
Auteur de Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle, 1896

I ride this bicycle to work this morning, many girls laughing at me :(
They said " Are you riding your mother's bicycle ?" then they laughed out loud...
Being humorous, i told them "Don't fall in love with me yah ~ "
Their burst of laughter became louder :))

A modified 2005 Gary Fisher Tassajara mountain bike. In three months, I've logged over 500 commuting miles in San Antonio with this bike saving 42 gallons of gasoline and about $53 a month (based on my gas-guzzling F-150 pickup).
Last weekend I received this lovely bicycle as an early Mother's Day gift. It's been years since I've ridden a bike and since I'm a little behind on the SP Project, I decided to go up the street and zip about on it.*
True or false:
It's like riding a bicycle. You never forget. Sort of true. Balancing and pedaling came back immediately, but the hopping on and off and braking will take more time to master to ensure I don't endanger anyone or look like a complete fool.
According to a review, you can wear a dress when riding this bike. True, especially with the low step-thru frame. However a black skirt requires some 'hitching up' but is still quite comfortable and you retain your modesty at all times! :D
Melburnians only wear black in winter. Apparently this is still true. It's a long held view but in this case, I wore black to contrast with the surroundings.
It's ridiculously complicated to take a SP like this. True! There were 3 shots where I was actually in frame. They're all out of focus but at least you're unable to see the look of terror on my face! :D
I took this shot alongside a private residence at the end of my street. As I live in an older suburb of Melbourne, it's reasonably common to see old corner shops like this, usually attached to a smaller house, that have been renovated to become one single home. Notice the different brickwork where a doorway must have once stood.
The old bluestone edging along the road is a feature that has been retained by the local council. Many of the old laneways are still paved with their original cobbled bluestone. With residential development going crazy, it's nice to see these pieces of history retained.
* Safety first. I have a helmet but it wasn't featured here as I wasn't riding on the road and also, it's not very stylish.
Varsovia es una ciudad antigua que quedó casi completamente en ruinas después de la segunda guerra mundial. El gobierno decidió volver a construirla para simbolizar la resistancia de los polacos frente a cualquier opresión. El resultado es fenomenal. Tanto que hace unos años fue reconocido como patrimonio de la Unesco. Estábamos paseando por las fortificaciones cuando encontramos esta bicicleta azul, cerca de la terraza de un café (hay muchas bicis por Varsovia, pero he visto pocas de este color). Los puntitos de bokeh que se ven son los reflejos del sol de la tarde sobre tres vasos vacíos que quedaban allí en una mesa.

One more in the bicycle series from Florence. This group of bicycles were locked up in a small garden outside a few apartments. The cracks and weathering of the wall caught my eye.
