July 5, 2014: #BikeCommuteHaiku No. 26
Saturday, July 5, 2014 at 10:54AM Bikes in Geneva:
apparently free for use
alongside the lake.
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.

But in my head I just hear:
"car-free city now!"

cooled by a full night of rain.
Biking brings me joy.

Wednesday, July 2, 2014 at 10:50PM I feel like hot mud
melting into the asphalt.
Summer in New York.

I have taken to whooping.
It does bring results.
