Today as I was heading home in the middle of the day, when the sun was at it's highest point, I started imagine how it would be if I was pedalling at a small country road in the middle of a dense forest. The thought appealed me so much that I immediately started to look around for alternative routes, although I knew well enough that there is none. I kept going and going and started chasing the half-shadows of some small trees in the near field, and then suddenly I saw it!
I was passing it every day but never really cared about it until today. There it was! A big olive tree at the side of the road with a shadow that looked so nice that I had to take a two-minute break.
As I was standing there cooling myself off I was thinking that with cycling I'm being able now to appreciate more the small things in life. Like the shadow of a tree, the air's breeze, the singing of the birds and the sounds of wildlife in general. I always liked to observe the nature and it's elements and cycling is helping me achieve that by keeping me outside.
You may think that this is a graphic speech and maybe it its, but as a fact it is also a truth.

What do you think? Have you started noticing more of your surroundings after starting commuting by bicycle or just by starting walking more?
