Holland
Holland is cool. A buddy from work sent me this pic from their summer vacation trip. In my heart I wish bikes were more widely accepted here in America. This scene is something that fires from the recesses of my mind, perhaps a flash back from Junior High. It was a time when we all rode our bikes to school, to the beach, all around on summer vacation.
These days, its rare to see an adult on a bicycle. Mostly we zoom around in our cars. Zoom zoom.
slow down, enjoy the fresh air, and conserve. try to stay local. try to eat local food. simplify life.
in this pic i like that every bike seems to have a rack. I guess they actually carry stuff on their bikes. No titanium cogsets found here. Utility, function, and a bicycle integrated lifestyle seems apparent. USA take a look. this could be us. we could have nice bike paths running thru town. The wealth of simplicity.
ahhh...a vision of Utopia. (well...a vision of my Utopia)
peace...d
