Just My Bike And Me
Wetlands passing by
the waterbirds feed
it’s a very good day
on San Francisco Bay.
To be out of the city
yet see it ‘cross the bay
even foggy days
it’s there on display.
Wind in my hair
just a gentle breeze
sun hot on my back
as I follow the bike track.
The sharp salt smell
clicking of the gears
the songbirds sing
colors on the wing.
Drifting down the trail
I feel like I’m flying
at peace so quietly
just my bike and me.

Oh, there is such joy in riding one’s bike, isn’t there? Especially when one has such a beautiful view along the way…..such as you do. I envy that. You have expressed your experience so well.

What a magical bike ride – there is something about being self contained and exploring under our own steam which conveys a sense of being young and adventure..

In a way it could be anywhere – the wetlands, the wind, the birds, the salt smell – universal. On the other hand, I very much enjoyed my few hours in San Francisco years ago, and warm to every reminder of that unique city.

It does sound like many places in the world, Rosemary. The only difference is that city across the bay and there is nowhere like it. Glad you got to see it.

I was out bicycling yesterday also, I love that sense of freedom, and how far you can get. Wonderful to bicycle and still have that skyline in view… I did rent a bicycle once in San Francisco and did a tour like that.

I remember you telling me that Bjorn! I would love to ride on the city side but I have no bike carrier right now. I think it’s great that you bike too, where do you go?

You wouldn’t believe how many trails I haven’t tried yet they crisscross each other all over this area. When you are under your own power nothing can get you down. Hugs!
