July 21, 2014: #BikeCommuteHaiku No. 41
Monday, July 21, 2014 at 08:28AM The heat is massive
like a brick wall or a ghost.
Occupying space.
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.

Friday, July 18, 2014 at 08:26AM It feels strange to bike
as world is falling apart.
Useless pedaling

Biking this week has been lax.
Mostly Citibikes.
