We asked some of our most dedicated cyclists to write a haiku about their low-carbon commuting.
Angry winds roll past
Sounds like too many people
All talking at once
Cold rain pounds my face
Fierce wind resists the pedals
A bus pass? No thanks
-Tim Richey
A slow casual ride
With many other cyclists
No police escort
Seattle morning
Typically gray and misty
We're a quiet crowd
Off to City Hall
A quiet crowd of cyclists
Greet the morning
Gathered at the bridge
News media with cameras
Many cyclists rule!
-Uwe Bergk
Drips fall from my brow
Steady and focused ahead
Fast past city shores
Waterlogged clothing
Clings to my spaghetti legs
I push through the wind
HONK HONK ding! ding! ding!
Get out of the road biker!
It's my road too! SMASH!
-Royce Bixby
Cool damp discomfort
Teeth, eyes ease post facial spray
Denim dries slowly
My ass crack is wet
Update spams keep being sent
Thank God May's over
-Nathan Messmer
Awesome is the bike
That I ride to work daily
When the chain stays on
William rides behind:
Cold fingers, cold hands, cold nose
Pedal more, whine less
-Tim Grinstead
Threatening clouds above
Bikers unprepared for flight
Wild ride ahead
-Robert Hoang
Bike size right size
No Frenzied car pace
Two wheeled rate
City spaces
At human pace
Bicycle
-Jim Wilson
