Well done, your essay catches the cycling air so well. Cycling is freedom, it's meditation, adventure and exercise all rolled into one! Keep it coming please - just subscribed 😀
This was a great essay Heike! You did a really good job of making me want to jump on a bicycle and ride. I must confess that I've always loved the *idea* of cycling, but each attempt reminds me of how bad my roads are for bicycles! Thankfully, I've been able to get a lot of the feelings you mention in your essay through running.

Not quite as fast or energy-efficient though :)
This is really well written!! I love the imagery of the body being "an organic extension of the steel machine"
As a fellow bike lover, I really enjoyed this piece Heike. You're making me want to take another bike trip soon!
