Bikes!
Last week was bike week!Â
Â
While I was a less-than-avid road cyclist before leaving for Copenhagen this past semester, the reality of making cycling a mode of transport in all of life's situations, seemed like a distant fantasy. My route to school included an intersection with a major highway, and even shorter trips held as much percieved danger--with my own accident which totalled both involved cars 5 minutes from home as proof. Â But life in Copenhagen, where I biked to school and around the city nearly everyday, showed me that it is beyond a possibility, and absolutely within my power to make it a reality in Dallas, Texas--reigning 'Worst Cycling City'.Â
