When You Go To Tonga by Rev. Father E. Tremblay

Querencia Final Draft

As I wake up, the bright sun glistening from my window burns my eyes. I recover and I look at the clock. 6:30 A.M. I get up, brush my teeth, put my riding gear on, and I carry my bike down the stairs. I settle my lightweight bike down and I stretch. I don't know where my bike will lead me, but I know for sure it is gonna be a long, fast pace ride. 

I put in my headphones putting on shuffle. First of 500 songs. I hop on my bike, taking my first pedals. I take it slow but once I hit the streets, I start pedaling faster bringing up my momentum. Getting faster, and faster. Mashing through traffic, I am not stopping for nothing. I could hear car horns beeping at me from behind. I don't make my way to turn back. I just keep pedaling. No cruising, just sprinting. The feel of the wind blowing through my hair makes me want to keep riding. 

The feeling of sprinting, being brake-less, and the fact that their is nobody to tell me what to do or what not to do makes me feel like a rebel.This steel track frame, aluminum drop bars, polished wheels, a 48 tooth chainring and many more parts, makes my bike. This special bike that makes me feel like I'm on top of the world when riding it. This is more than a bike. This is what I love to do. 

As I finally end to a stop at my destination, my iPod is already at hundredth song. I look back from my view and it just trips me out sometimes. It trips me out on how far I managed to get here on bike. Fixed Gear don't stop. Where will my bike take me to next time? 

Picture Frame

My querencia is anywhere my bike takes me to. I can honestly say that when I'm on my bike, I feel like I rule the world. Riding makes me feel free. My motto is "Live Young, and Ride Free". Just pedaling makes me have a good time. No stress, or drama. Just pedaling.
