I've recently taken a great liking to riding my bike.
when i was younger and up until very recently,
bicycling was always very hard work.
this year, i've learned that i don't have to pedal as fast as i can (unless i'm getting late for work).
i am learning to easily coast along the shady neighborhood roads,
lifting my camera to snap a picture or two.
waving to elderly people out on their front porches.
i find this kind of riding so much more enjoyable.
i ride for large pieces of the late hours when is still golden,
warm and humid, but not overly so.
eventually i find an open field or clearing for the sunset portion of my day.
