There is nothing like the freedom of riding a bike to get around down compared to a car.
- I sold my vehicle about eight years ago now, after getting tired of the American way, and I am so satisfied not having to drive a vehicle each day.
I spent 15 to 20 hours a week in my vehicle back in the States, and then when you add on my 50 and hour workweek, you wonder how I am able to live life with the little bit of time leftover. If you work ten hours a day at your local business, then add in another two hours of driving for the whole day, you are left with very little time in the night to watch your newly bought fireplace, or to play with your kids for that matter. I would leave my place at 8am to take the hour-long drive to work, and I wouldn’t return home until almost 7pm with no energy left over. My partner would ask me to clean the HEPA filter and I was so tired that I would pay my child to do the Heating and A/C work for me. That whole life is gone after getting divorced and leaving my job to live a new life overseas. I like the natural temperature control you get from riding your bike in the breeze, and it is good not having to sit in the Heating and A/C company cubicle all day long like I was doing back in the States when I was an engineer working in the Heating and A/C field. My oh my, how life swings!
