July 31, 2014: #BikeCommuteHaiku No. 46
Thursday, July 31, 2014 at 11:17AM Sweating myself blind
I bike over Brooklyn Bridge
Outkast a-blastin'
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.

I am taking the bike out.
Heat and dust be darned.

Friday, July 25, 2014 at 08:35AM The heat is the thing:
I routinely leave the bike
and take the subway

Friday, July 25, 2014 at 08:30AM Horribly behind.
But I am determined now.
To catch up. On bike.

Commuting monotony
Communing with air.
