I have been commuting by bike for about 2 years now and I have noticed an important piece of life information. When I ride my bike, just like many people go through life, I find my self looking at the ground in front of me. I look for pot holes, traffic signals, bike lane lines and the like.
Many people go through life looking at the car in front of them, their office wall, their break room and if they are lucky, a 56 inch plasma TV which probably has the news on.
But I have found that if I just look up and to the left, there is some beautiful scenery to be had. There is always a sunset, beautiful beach (that includes dolphins), squirrels running for their life across a busy street, smiling faces at bus stops and some great pubs.
So I guess what I am saying is that if we as a society keep looking at what is directly in front of us, we will miss the beautiful things that are all around us.
