22 Thoughts I Have on my Bike Ride to Work

15 Minutes of Not-So-Silent Bliss

22 Thoughts I Have on my Bike Ride to Work
David Marcu

Ah the daily commute. Some people drive. Some people walk. Some people fly (you know, in a private jet). Some people ride their bicycles. I am a part of the bicycle group this summer for my internship because I do not own a car and it only takes about 15 minutes on a bike to get there.

However, taking this ride every weekday in the morning on the way there and in the evening on the way back can have some soothing and calming effects. If you know the route well enough, you can let you mind wander enough that you are deep in thought while also being aware of your surroundings (safety first!).

Here are some thoughts that I have had during those short rides:

Sitting on the Seat that has been in the Sun for Hours

Seeing a Ditch In the Sidewalk that You Can't Avoid

Doing the "Hello" Nod to Passerby


When a Car is Right Behind You


Looking Over Your Shoulder to Assess Your Surroundings


Accidentally Running Into a Trash Can


Looking Strange in a Helmet, but Safety is Important

Trying to Make Up for it by Wearing Sunglasses


When You Have to Jump to Get Over a Curb


LOOK AT THAT NATURE


Thinking About Future Plans


Thinking of a Stranger Future

"The World is so Amazing"


"THERE IS LITTER EVERYWHERE"

"Did I Forget Something?"

Feeling the Breeze

"'Star Wars' is Not Science Fiction..."


"Movie Studios Recreating Things from the 90's is like Textbooks Coming Out with a New Edition to Make More Money"

"What was That? GASP! IT'S RAINING!"

Going Downhill

Going Uphill


Arriving Home

What do you think, friends? What are your thoughts during your daily commute?

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
