I ride a bicycle daily in London and have done for many years.
I don't know anyone who's ever taken a bus. It's a mysterious form of transportation.
It's stupid to miss a thing when there are so many people to miss instead, but I miss this train already, and all the others that carried me through the city, my city, after I was brave enough to ride them. I brush my fingers over the car wall, just once, and then jump.
I live on a bicycle...I live in central London, probably 90 percent of my travel is done on a bicycle. I love bicycles.
And always Melbourne, Melbourne, Melbourne, over and over the same photo in glaring greens and reds, of a tram, huffy, blunderous, manoeuvring itself with pole akimbo round the tight corner where Bourke Street enters Spring.
I still live in the city. I still jump on the bus.
The day will come when the notion of car ownership becomes antiquated. If you live in a city, you don't need to own a car.
In cities like New York, it is common to find taxicabs with wireless-enabled card readers.
