During Covid I would bike almost every evening through my neighborhood outside of Portland- I don’t have a bike anymore but I miss golden hour & one earbud in & standing up on the frame with no hands & thinking I was cool

@WORLDONFIRE i’m so glad you relate!! i definitely hold those memories in my heart as one of the only things that kept me sane during an otherwise very depressing time! the overall culture at the time online among high schoolers where everyone was learning to skate to indie pop and brockhampton was fun, made me feel like a real person lol. the image of biking at sunset is one of the only solid visual memories i have of the entire year of 2020

Apart from the obvious (easy way to get more exercise and time outside, cheap, good for the environment), something I really value is the different view of your city that it gives you. You aren’t bound to avoiding traffic, and it’s usually safer to go avoid main roads, so you end up on some lovely backstreets that you never would have otherwise seen. You also get routed through parks and along the water. Because it’s so easy to pull over and park anywhere, you stop to enjoy things more often too. I find I interact with and feel way more connected to my city as a cyclist. I‘ve found so many cool spots from having biked by them. This is a photo from my bike commute before I moved🥲

Was down yesterday; decided I had to break out. Rode my bike to Coney Island as the sun set. I had to suit up for the cold—in NYC theres no snow or ice yet so it was possible—thermals and puffer. I remembered on the ride that I’m so sick like the coolest. I hadn‘t rode my bike out to Coney since I was a teenager. The return night ride along the belt parkway I passed only three other people just striding by the Narrows. To my right—hundreds of car headlights pointed to the airport. It like forced me to give myself some credit.

Will not be elaborating on this except to say when I’m at my parents house I become someone else, and u feel like a wild animal and have arguably a lot more balance as you ascend

Exactly what it sounds like. Sometimes you have a large and juicy citrus fruit that you want to peel and consume like a starved chimp but without the stickiness. So do this in a slightly cold shower. So refreshing and wild
