We lead busy lives with a daily increase in the amount of cars on the road. I still to this day as I am riding out the gate feel like a kid leaving the house after my morning chores, off to explore, with a smile from ear to ear. I do not know of anything else that gives me this feeling.

Bicycles are my addiction, a way of holding onto my sense of self.

I am 37 and I think within my life time we will see a major increase again in the price of fuel again and again and I think it will keep going until it becomes near impossible for normal people on normal wages to afford to run their vehicles on a daily basis.

Then and only then will we see massive improvement in the cycle path type infrastructures.

Behold the humble bicycle . . . . the oldest form of mechanical transport for the individual person . . . and they will be the last.



Just my 2 cents
