365 days on a bike

open your eyes

Bike lanes in Riga are just other convenient spots for parking a car, walking a dog or pushing a stroller. Many Rigans have no idea what "bike lane" means and that it exists under their feet. Sad story. [04.04.13]

365days-on-a-bike: Who says habitual everyday commuting cannot be fun, surprising and adventurous? Not I, because I commute by bike. Getting on the bike in the morning is what makes me wake up, what gives me a push for the rest of the day (no doubt coffee helps a lot as well). On one of the days the weather was exceptionally terrible (which is not a rare event here) and riding home I though “if I can ride and survive in these conditions, nothing can stop me,” because almost nothing can be worse than a freezing hard rain and a hurricane-like wind. That is how the idea of what you see here was born. Yes. This is my resolution – reaching my everyday destinations by cycling. No matter what the weather is.
