 | Night ride bicycle videosThe city is already fast asleep. It is dark in the exciting way that you can still see the outlines of objects but not the shadows behind them. Every so often you can hear the faint roar of a car engine driving by. There is something out here that calls you. Something that makes you feel more alive. You feel the wind pick up as you push through the streets. Your heart is beating steadily. The air grows colder but the adrenaline coursing through your veins keeps you warm. Every patch of darkness is interrupted by blinding street lights. The lights seem to guide you in the right direction. Your heart is no longer beating, it is racing! It is like you are at the edge of a cliff looking down, and instead of feeling light-headed and dizzy you feel invincible. You can feel the gritty asphalt beneath your wheels as you speed up and fly past everyone on your path. But the road is sometimes treacherous. There is no thinking, just swift movements as you push your limits. You cautiously move through the spontaneous bursts of traffic. You feel unpredictable, impulsive, adventurous! You are here for the thrill not for the exercise. Why is it that we can endlessly pedal everyday without getting bored? Is it something that you learn or something that comes within? There is something truly special about riding a bike at night. You want to ride until the streets run out. 686 night cycling videos |
