July 10, 2014: #BikeCommuteHaiku No. 31
Thursday, July 10, 2014 at 02:24AM Finally some sun.
A timid milky circle
emitting no warmth.
I commute from Brooklyn to Manhattan by bike on most workdays. One day, to calm myself from too many car-doors in my face, too many pedestrians stepping blithely and without looking into the bikelane, I started composing haikus in my head. Thus was born the Bike Commute Haiku Project. From that day, June 10, 2014, I pledged to compose and post one haiku a day about my commute for one year.
Addendum July 31, 2014: After a while, it became clear to me that I do not, actually, bike every single day. And so here is my modified pledge. I will post a haiku every day that I do until June 10, 2015.

truly not a day for bikes.
We smell like wet dogs

I haven't seen bike ponchos
since I was a kid.

Monday, July 7, 2014 at 02:21AM Odd but marvelous
to be walking in city
where biking is norm.

summer at Bains des Pâquis.
No bikes were involved.
