I related to a lot what you said about bike riding in that I love the experience of moving through the world atop my skateboard. The sound of the wheels, relying on your legs, seeing new places while being physical — it’s meditative. :)
Cycling, like walking or running, is a great way of experiencing the world indeed! There are some who dare disagree, but one only has to do it to understand the feeling.
I always find it hard to write about that--experiences that are more about feeling than anything else. I think you did a good job there. It was quite an enjoyable read.
For me, I've been in two bike-packing trips, just my brother and I, and even though it's been a while since the last, we always talk about it.
A great read, Hrvoje.

Thank you for reading, Michael. Yes, it’s really meditative, I hope I’ve managed to describe the feeling.
You nailed it :)

Thanks Tom, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I agree that it’s difficult to capture it properly and a poet would probably do it better.
