May 14 Beijing
I rented a bicycle today. Now that was an Adventure with a capital A. At first you have to keep your mind entirely and well focused on not dying and then after an hour or so that part quiets down but still, a tumble looms just a heart beat away. That said in my three days here I have not seen a single accident at all or even the aftermath of an accident.
This was a quiet moment in the Back Lakes area just up the road from My Street.
