The best thing about biking

The best thing about biking are long, straight, downhill-sloping stretches. You can just let go and the wind howls merrily all around you. You can almost imagine taking off and flying any moment. Biking really does make you free as a bird, excuse the overused image, free from bus and train time-tables and traffic jams. That sense of freedom is condensed in those long, straight, downhill-sloping stretches.

I so agree Maria...I just wish we had some long downhill stretches! I wouldn't even object to the uphill if I had the pleasure of the exhilaration you have described, and I remember so well from SA!

Nice image there- I think that would be heavenly, as long as the wind was warm.

I love the grass blades in your previous post too.
