Liberation is...

Liberation is immobility not.

It is the silent but supreme sense of unrestrained freedom riding a bicycle affords you: to move as you wish to, as slow or as fast as you desire; to have no objective in mind but freely roam about, without the burden an end point or a finality weighs on you; to travel in the dead of the night, where the streets are desolate and where the only sounds you hear are the spinning of the wheels and the voices in your mind; to wander into unknown corners and evade unsuspecting potholes, while discovering hitherto unexplored places; to look into the unhidden vast sky, stealing a quick gaze at the constellation of meekly shinning stars; to be in constant motion yet retain a clarity of mind, with a stream of unhurried thoughts in quiet company; and, above all, to be a conscious-being feeling the sense of exhilaration and joy when riding a humble bike.
