On the road – Biking!! (2nd series)

I'm new with this biking thing.. some people have done it for all their life.. as a matter of fact they cannot even imagine it how it is not to have a bike. No to jump on a bike (in the morning) and get to your job, uni, musical, date, concert, circus, pub, whatever! They've been biking for as long as they can remember.

Now as I'm new to this, I take pleasure in doing it. I like the wind in my hair, the fantastic moves I make, the motion, the street, the people, the kids in front and back.. I still cannot imagine it how people talk on the phone, hold children still, a umbrella and groceries. I still think they must be some sort of spider-men and women to be able to do so.

But anyhow, Salilorboy's teaching me tricks and making me practice. In this direction, we bikes to Haarlem. I don't even know how many kilometers there are up to there. Something between 15 and 30. We anyhow took one long and one short route, so we might as well had done around 40-50km, that's not something you'd do every day. At the same time, I felt good, no shade of exhaust.

I guess my going off to work by bike every day paid off. In our way there we encountered the most peculiar garden I've ever seen. Besides the tractors or used instruments and devices planted artishly around the garden, there were real animals, including a lama or two.. very strange indeed. Do you just import them from Peru?!

Well anyhow, we got there, sat at a terrace... it was fabulous weather out there!! did some walking around. We surprisingly saw that there was a jazz festival we didn't know about,
but also decided not to stay there, 'cause it'd take us to long to get home afterwards.. we biked back after a relaxing time to an even more lazy time at home.. watching a film, doing nothing.. just perfect!!
