Four Ways of Looking at a Bicycle

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

African youth on a bicycle

Here is an excellent article on the importance of bicycles. I’m not riding as much as I would like but I do have my bikes here in Jamaica. I should be taking in some world class mountain biking and instead I’m dragging a trailer with the kids around the beach and West End Negril.

I’m having fun withe the family and the bikes but I’m feeling the need to hit the trails soon. I’m going to start riding more often as soon as things cool off a bit. It’s so hot here in Jamaica that I melted three pairs of shoes into junk last month. I’ll post a pic of that next.

AS A LIFESAVER
Health care workers in Senegal, Namibia, and other African nations usually walk miles over dusty roads to deliver food, medicine, and companionship to people with HIV/AIDS. But with the donation of 1,500 single-speed bicycles by BikeTown Africa, caregivers now visit as many as six times more people in need. The program, a partnership between Bicycling magazine, Kona Bicycle Company, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, has a broad mission: Says Steve Madden, editor-in-chief of Bicycling, “One bike at a time, we can solve big problems and change the world.”

Alfred Moya taking a tour of the underground caverns and mineral springs at Roaring River Park in Petersfield Westmoreland Jamaica. I enjoy the drive to Roaring River and I find it some of the most beautiful land in Westmoreland. The Petersfield/Shrewsbury area is primarily sugar cane farms and everything is a bright shiny green for much of the year.

Here we are at Dunns River Waterfalls in Ocho Rios Jamaica. We really enjoy spending time at the many waterfalls and rivers here in Jamaica and this is one of the most scenic spots on the island. Dunns River Waterfalls is usually a bit to crowded and touristy for us but it is a really special place and we enjoy it. The water is exhilarating and the kids love hiking up the trails and waterfalls on our adventures.

Alfred Moya stands in front of the Jade Vine at Cranbrook Flower Forest. The unique blue green colors of this plant are absolutely amazing. I’ve never seen such a vibrant and bright shade of Jade in any other wild plant. The colors look fake as if someone used colored dye in the water or something but its all natural.

The vine hangs from a very large tree in these huge swaths of brilliant color that are simply stunning. I want one of these in my garden some day but I doubt I’ll have one. Seems like it’s an old plant with lots of years of growth to attain such long lengths.
