So I’ve been riding my bike every day since Friday and I can tell that my endurance, though pathetic it may be, has indeed increased. However I may break my every day riding rule because it may rain tomorrow. I haven’t decided yet. It would be a good opportunity to really understand what it’s like to bike in the rain but at the same time I’m not prepared for such a task. I don’t really want to get pneumonia.
I think for this project I may wait out the rain and get back on my bike afterward, especially since I’m still a novice at this kind of thing. Anywho….
Yesterday DVA showed a few of us a couple of videos of him biking around the city, and I have to say that there is no way I could compete with traffic on a main road. He’s crazy for the stunts he did, weaving in and out of traffic like that. I mean really! He’s crazy. I saw another video of these messengers in New York who do the same thing, I just don’t understand. Clearly. I would like to be enlightened, please. The excitement and joy DVA got out of simply showing us the video really sparked some interest on the matter to me. I want to know why someone would bike around town recklessly like that on purpose. I want to know the purpose.
It’s very curious behavior.

Anarchy in the UK!
no… I think it’s just an adrenaline rush.
