I picked up a bicycle a few weeks back and cut down my commute to school from 25 minutes of speed walking to 10 minutes of leisurly biking. Cycling is part of the culture here, it's really cool to live in a place where I don't need to rely on an automobile. Locals ride their bikes everywhere, regardless of the weather. Women ride in skirts/ tights to work, people carry their baskets into grocery stores and there are bike paths everywhere. I hear that in the winter time they plow the bike paths faster than the streets...so I plan to ride all year round.
Anyway, I love the fresh air and exercise in the morning while riding my bike along path from my downtown apartment to school. I love my bike so much that I named her 'Vanilla'. My roomate Sara has an older blue bike (in one of the pic's) that we named 'Blueberry'.
My classmate Joel filmed a short video of another classmate (Nick from Wisconsin) riding along one of the paths. The quality is not great but the music makes the video (The Hysteric Song by Marz - in case you are wondering).
