Astronauts
We feel like astronauts, even though we’re mere bicyclists.
Here we are standing for our group shot, before embarking:
Now we’re strapping ourselves in, getting ready for lift-off:
We’re in flight, darting amongst parked cars like dragonflies over the water:
And now soaring down the street…
Cycling is like magic.
