because of the specific type of wind that passes me by when biking, and the views I get to see in perfect speed (plus the ability to stop whenever), all from the impeccably-maintained public biking system Taipei implements. I feel so lucky to live here.

Apart from the obvious (easy way to get more exercise and time outside, cheap, good for the environment), something I really value is the different view of your city that it gives you.
You aren’t bound to avoiding traffic, and it’s usually safer to go avoid main roads, so you end up on some lovely backstreets that you never would have otherwise seen. You also get routed through parks and along the water. Because it’s so easy to pull over and park anywhere, you stop to enjoy things more often too.
I find I interact with and feel way more connected to my city as a cyclist. I‘ve found so many cool spots from having biked by them.

On a nice day, wind in your hair and leaves falling. What a wonderful feeling!

Got into it quite recently after ripping around nyc on one of those e-bike shares around. Living in a much more rural area, rides are quiet and calm. Meditative and great exercise. You really earn the beer at the end. Solo or with friends, any days a good day if you ride.

I love to watch Phantom Thread when I’m sick. The music and imagery are beautiful and not abrasive, everyone speaks softly with precision, most of all watching Daniel Day-Lewis suffer from illness alongside me is very comforting.

Not on purpose.. but don’t sweat it when it happens by accident.. it’ll dry quickly enough, then the paper will harden into a crispily wrinkled texture that is so nice to flip through. ok if you must do it on purpose.. drink from an iced beverage on top of your notebook and dew from the surface of the glass will drop down nicely.

In elementary school my best friend and I made up a religion where the deity is a tree in the school yard. We’d go to the tree and pray for good grades and bad luck to the girl we did not like. At the end of each prayer, we’d say “sasasasa” as an amen, an onomatopoeia of sand flying from a gust of wind.
