A Morning Adventure - 8 months ago

I almost fell from a bike!😂

The image has been crystalized in my head all morning.  I grew up around different kinds of vehicles and I have explored all means of transportation, except of course, a submarine. But for me, there are only two things that shake me in this world. One has already happened and the other is a motorcycle. 

I would rather walk from the east all the way to the west than to joggle my life span and question my existence on a bike. I have thoroughly considered the seven wonders of the world and I have very deep questions for whoever came up with that list. I would also argue the placement of some of those wonders. Recently, I have considered the entire concept and ‘brilliant idea’ of a motorcycle. 

It makes absolutely no sense. So, this morning, I had my bag pack on, got on a bike in the hopes to arrive my destination in one piece. As we journeyed, there was my destination waiting a few meters away. Then all of a sudden, I felt something shift. The shift wasn't the problem as I often would hold onto the rail at the back of the bike. I felt my body being drawn to the ground, it felt like the ground was trying to get a kiss. The bike-man kept moving oblivious to the pending fate of his dearest passenger, Baba was just doing his thing. 

I think that bike riders wake up everyday, do some yoga then they meditate and in that meditation they imagine themselves as small gods. They go ahead to wear their ‘I don’t care' mask and run to the garage to start their bikes. 

Picture this, you're about to embark on an impromptu trip to work and you're presented with options of a car and a bike. I don't need to ask to know what you're gonna pick, it's glaring!. Maybe, if there were a compartment that would shield the passenger and perhaps the rider then, maybe we could vote unanimously that a bike is indeed one of the seven wonders.

Interestingly, I and my body somehow didn't touch the ground and I don't know how or what happened. I still stand as one of the foremost agitators against motorcycles.
