MY BICYCLE


Mi favorite piece of tecnologie is my bicycle. I love her and she is my best friend.

I get her four years ago. It was an heritage from my aunt, so you can suppose that she is very old . She's very beatiful. She's green and very fine and have a horn like a little trompet which is very noisy. I often scear people on the street with it, but finally they laft because it sounds very funny, like a clown's nose.

She's like a princess, very delicate, and often have problems with the agressif ground of Santiago

She has a long "pedaling life" and knows a lot of bums. I think she is about thirty years. Much older than myself! For that reason i have a lot of respect for her. I think she's very sage.

I use my bycicle almost every day. She's my daily transport.

But she's more than a way to save money and to make some exersise.

Her mechanic fonctionning make me feel that she's an extension of my body.

She is a symbol of my self freedom and independence.

I think cycling is a philosophy and a way of life, without her my relation with the city and the space in general would be different.
