Bicycle smile?
Yesterday I was preparing to leave when I noticed he did not know the key to the padlock of the bike that I travel usually in Aveiro . Being a classic bike and decided not to risk doing some km on foot. During the course of 6 or 7 km found myself associating the expressions of the people the means of transport. It is already known that the slower travel details can appreciate.
It has been said that the mentality is changing, which are more bicycles in the city. This last part is true, as the mentality I'm not sure I totally agree. One of the major causes of this increased use of cycling are the economic difficulties being felt. These people are economically disadvantaged, or having car and wanting to cut back spending on it, or not having the capacity to afford the car, they are using the bike a more active day by day. So most of the expressions passed yesterday by cyclists who crossed me nothing more than carrying a huge oppression, disappointment and feelings of inferiority. Maybe it was the way to go be quite dangerous with vehicles tangents at high speed. On the other hand the drivers of these vehicles, mostly show a torn smile, a raised nose and only has a crown on his head because no gutter.
It all made me wonder if I smile when I walk the bike. I think so. I ride a bike for pleasure but also in hazardous areas may change a little expression.

But on Sunday I also left home in a way, like this photo ... awesome ahahah But the truth was that he needed lettuce and bread and things, rings, without the "crutch" (car) as someone calls q and confess with due reason, decided to get on the bike and literally give you use. People look at a curious fact is, people say, another fact, and I smiled at him. It's good to feel the wind on your face, so pedaling slowly and there are things that feel and are only "perceived" by us anyway. Arrival at the Retail Park to look for parking space, now that the post was the next to an Audi, those for large families and large portfolios, it seemed a beautiful place to pull over and hold the bike. Looking back I noticed that the contrast was really nice, also for its irony.
The truth is that I came with lettuce and bread and most do not know what, strapped behind the seat with a feeling of lightness and well-being that would not have experienced, certainly, if it had gone in my usual means of transport.
Um ... This is already taking up much space ... ..
Well, lots of smiles and good cycling with or without ... eheheh
errr One final note: this post interesting, well thought out ... think beyond clever things interesting ... uh huh
