I have a certain liking to taking pictures of vehicles from bikes to wagens. Here are a few shots of wheels I've encountered along the way (my bike included).

 

Pedal Experience

Early Saturday morning. The sun is still close to the horizon and the heat is yet to sting for a few hours later. Perfect time to pedal on the bike. Checking each tire, pinching them for enough air. Pushing the bike forward, pressing the brakes and finding they're stopping good. Stretching my limbs for some warmup before I settle myself on the saddle to take off on a ride around the city.

Off I go. Feeling the breeze on my skin and letting my hair float back behind my head. Going on bike rides is something fulfilling. It's like a daily routine that I have to complete in order to survive. 

My thigh muscles contract as the slope gets a bit higher but i don't complain. Instead, I pedal more to reach where I should go. The sweat has dampened my back and trickling down my temples. I just wipe them away and get a feeling of satisfaction that I did ride my bike today.

I make full stops for rest and to savor the view. And when my analogue camera is loaded, I take it along with me so I can take pictures of my bike stops. Realizing I can go places without spending on gas and at the same time giving my muscles some activity and not contributing any to climate change.

There's a certain feeling of freedom that I can't seem to put to words in detail. For a second there I knew the world has invented something good.

My bike called Giraffe

Meet my vintage Captain Stag bike. The seller named her Giraffe and I adopted the same name since there's a sticker of a giraffe posted on it and it kinda looks like one too anyway. Bought her just this month. The farthest we've been to was in Dauis, Bohol. Hope we can go to another destination soon. I'm a bit sad though, I can't go biking until July. We'll have to resume our trips on July and rest for a bit (two months is too long :[ but it's how it should be). Can't wait to step on the pedals again! Weeeee!
