I feel clumsy in my body most days. I trip over things around into walls. For me biking is a way to remove myself from my body.

It's kind of like how you can give a stutter a song to sing.

They can sing it clearly without stuttering. In many ways I think it's the same with me.

I think it's the same with me. I started biking back when I was in college. I'm not in college anymore. I'm actually kind of at that age in between college and

adulthood where nights like tonight. at that

in between college and adulthood where nights like tonight, Friday nights,

start to lose some of that inexplicable excitement

that they used to hold.

Back then, biking was essentially a way for me to run away from emotions I had. It was right when I first started dating people and I

sometimes didn't know

quite how to react. I found that biking, especially on nights like this where the air was warm and felt like

it was a kind of built-in tension, like these were the nights that I would ride on. I remember the night my first girlfriend and I broke up.

I took my bike out and I took my camera with me and I shot these photos while I was riding,

fast in the dark. They turned out just to be these giant

jagged blurred splotches of light. But I like biking now, especially at night. 30 miles an hour is an amazing feeling and there's only two inches between your feet and the road.

When you get in the rhythm you can push the bike back and forth with your arms.

That rocket, it's that rhythm, that innate. That

innate knowledge of every bump in the road, every tilt.

It's just a feeling you don't really get in cars. This is a long delayed start to the second season of shows.

This is a long delayed start to the second season of shows.

There's a good reason for that.

Rejection.
