A BICYCLE
A bicycle is transportation:
Unsoiled mobility moving through space in time, achieving arrival
Without the fury of abrasive sound, burning oil, and caustic fumes.
Clean, self-sufficient transportation, "Being there", using only your own energy!
A bicycle is exercise: Air rushes, mind focused, eyes alert, mind assimilating sights and sounds,
Legs pumping pounding, muscles grating grinding, rasping lungs expanding
Rhythmically sucking air in and out, building up the heart, accelerating circulation.
A bicycle is adventure:
Searing freezing air, baking sun, bumping, swaying, sense stimulating thrills,
Precariously balanced, mind melding excitement, daring movement, speeding unprotected
Through grime excreting chaotic traffic, dodging moving masses, avoiding traumatic collisions.
A bicycle is anarchy: A rebellious release from social and economic constraints to spontaneous free flowing movement.
A statement of independence from the industrial complex, defying identify crushing conformity.
A dramatic counterpoint to social and legal structure, crisscrossing the flow of society's norms
