"The bicycle had, and still has, a humane, almost classical moderation in the kind of pleasure it offers. It is the kindof machine that a Hellenistic Greek might have invented and ridden. It does no violence to our normal reactions : it does not pretend to free us from our normal enviroment." ~ J. B. Jackson.
She is one of my bestfriend. She has a list, which she named "My Visible Idea of Perfection". Her wishlist, a list of things she wanted in her life. On the fifth, she put "having my own bike".
Yes, having her own bike is her sweetest dream. I know, I may not helping much in making it come true just by writing this. But somehow I believe, she will have it. She will have the bike she's been dreaming, the bike she's been craving and always wanted. She'll ride it along Cikapayang or Riau, just as she said. Eventhough she may need an extra foot and lungs. And definitely a very strong calf. Her wish is simple, yet I cannot help her.
I know, one day, I'll meet up with her and she will be riding her bike. She will show me how great her bike is. How wonderful and how much she loves it. I can picture it in my mind. I can see, someday this will happen. It won't took long. It won't took forever.
You will get your own bike, Dor. YOU WILL!!
