I used to fantasize that my bicycle was actually a horse and I was carrying an important dispatch for the King.
Since I used to bicycle along the Thames towpath to Hampton Court it was easy to believe this amusing fantasy.
Generally I'm too busy watching for traffic to be bored on a bike. I'll be commuting along a pleasant river road this fall and willl enjoy watching the ducks and the foliage instead--lovely!
I'm just so happy to be able to ride a bike instead of drive a car that I am never bored. Now a CAR used to make me tense, stressed out and foul mouthed. I think it does for a lot of people.
the bicycle is good for your mind as well as your body.

Congratulations on being able to take different interesting routes to work!
