travel today. bicycles also come in different colors-silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.its fun watching people biking. they rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through

the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. i didnt want to get hit. so i took the ride carefully.crossing the streets was the biggest problem. it was a lot like crossing a major highway
