theme thursday - wheels

I drive a car. I like the security of having 4 wheels under me in constant contact with the road.
Bicycles scare me.
I tried to learn to ride when I was a child, but could never get the hang of the whole balance thing.
A brief attempt as an adult convinced me (very quickly) that I Am Not Designed To Ride A Bike.™

But I saw this one in Greenwich Village earlier this year.



And I thought it was cute.

Did you ever think, while riding in a car, of how you're above the road (your body is) never touching the road. I often think it's like a cartoon, where the car suddenly becomes invisible and you'd see all these floating people--some going fast, all in a seated position.

No. But I rather think I might now. What a fab thought!
