get on your bike and do what you like

wheel in the sky, originally uploaded by third uncle.

there are few things in life that i enjoy more than bicycling. the moment i hop on the saddle i feel like a kid again, gliding through this beautiful city and bombing its steep hills. it’s an exhilarating feeling and the closest i imagine to flight that i can get while still connected firmly to the ground. sweet freedom. i’ve put together a short mix of songs inspired by bicycles or, at the very least, that mention one – whether it be taking a bike ride to the moon or being the only one on a bicycle built for two. it’s about thirty minutes long, just enough time for a cruise to the beach, or wherever your ride takes you.
