"Children invented the round. Since the great natural spectacles such as clouds, waves, the sun, and the moon preside over our childish wonder, I tell myself that I am in harmony with nature when I am on my bike, which rolls sweetly along, capriciously rocked by the curves in the road. I am absorbed by it, I am not at all a revolutionary character. I have accepted. I have inscribed myself on the side of the dominant forces, effortlessly, naturally."

Bike Rides

back to home

Sometimes I like to ride my bike places. Sometimes these places are very far away. On those rides, I spend the day biking, and the evening writing, uploading pictures, and making maps of where I was.
