The Blue Whip

For Christmas I received a bicycle –The frame is painted a vivid blue color with some white lines on it. The wheels and spokes are nicked-plated and shine extra bright. My bicycle is nothing fancy just something that can get me around my neighbourhood in a split.

This weekend I decided to take it out and put some extra mileage on it.

It was very refreshing to jump on my bicycle and have the freedom of not having to take my usual walking path. I could choose to go where my will takes me. My journeys are no longer determined by how far the walk is but now how quickly I can get from point a to point b. Cycling cuts down my journey in halves.

On my exploration of my neighbourhood this weekend from atop my bicycle I discovered a few twists, turns and a few dead-ends, I was able to get through potholes with out getting my shoes wet; although I had a muddy bicycle at the end of the day.

I caught up with some of my friends who are bicycle enthusiasts and they had a turn on it - they seemed impressed with the way it handled especially doing wheelies.

I guess blue whip this will be my mode of transportation until I get my drivers license.
