Meditation on the Kickbike

A short meditation on the kickbike. I own a red one and mine goes hither and yon only if I put in the effort. It's the hard yards...and the hard miles!

But it gets you about. With effort.

Within my every foot fall is the neighbourhood and the public transport system. I hop on and hop off my kickbike -- just like a skateboarder.

I tuck it under my arm to climb stairs. I carry my shopping on it.

I carry me.
