I was dreamlining the other day, and decided that I’m going to start bicycling as a hobby. It has a number of benefits:
-
easy exercise – I’ve had difficulty being diligent with my fitness routine.
-
fresh air – It’ll encourage me to take breaks. I get so focused when I work that I usually don’t leave the house.
-
productive thinking – When I’m having trouble coming up with ideas or finding solutions to a problem, I’ll get on my bike. Motion encourages progress. (see: Einstein)
-
transportation – I can bike down to Old Town Pasadena or Glendale instead of wasting gas – good for the environment, for my body, and for my wallet.
Well, coincidentally, my buddy Rich was dreamlining the same day and also decided he wanted to take up biking. (What are the chances?) He was in Amsterdam a few months ago, where bicycles are the transportation of choice, and was inspired to buy a Dutch bike. He introduced me to this beaut:
For $550, the Electra Amsterdam Classic 3. Official site.
