There is something you do not know about me but I'm about ready to share. I love to ride my bicycle. Not to race, nor to go quickly, or far but just to ride and feel the wind in my hair and the breath of the sea on my face.

This summer has seen it's share of early morning bike rides, afternoon rides to the lake, and evening rides when the shadows are getting long. 

I wasn't alone in this quest, everywhere I went I saw parked bicycles, each one an individual like it's owner.

Some people riding far and others just out for a ride to their favorite coffee place.

There is this wonderful quote by Hellen Keller, and I discovered that she loved riding bikes as much as I do. I felt so happy she could experience this blissful joy as well.

Next to a leisurely walk, I enjoy a spin on my tandem bicycle. It is splendid to feel the wind blowing in my face and the springy motion of my iron steed. The rapid rush through the aire gives me a delicious sense of strength and buoyancy, and the exercise makes my pulse dance and my heart sing. ~ Helen Keller
