Timelessness
- Learn to bike as young child, continue to ride bike as an elder
- feel childlike joy when biking
Timeline beyond lifetime:
- Bikes came from early in time (the wheel), → can then persist far into the future, potentially even carry over after humans?
- Bikes date back 600 years (1418).
Bikes have looked more or less the same since their invention
- They will likely resemble themselves, look the same far into the future…even so far as when humans no longer exist.
Biking as a metaphor, something that persists through the cycle of life and death, something that is learned and passed on.
- Dad biking the Cape Cod rail trail → then teaching me how to bike → then pic of us biking → finding “Dad?” painted onto rail trail after Dad died
