Biker Gang

I don't know this man, hence his mean look.

Yesterday i joined my Architecture in Context class on a bike ride of roughly 25 miles through the suburbs of Florence. It was quite the trek. We spent a good amount of time riding along the Arno but the majority of the ride was on the right side of very busy roads. Occasionally we would come to rotaries which would automatically shut down for the train of 20 something bikers. Hills often slowed us down but most of us were up for the challenge. We even found a good example of modern architecture somewhere in the vicinity of Florence ( i dont really have the slightest idea where it was to be honest). After our resting period in the church, we got back on our bikes ( which quickly became a literal pain in the ass ) and rode like bats out of hell back into the city. This meant flying down busy streets and through jammed intersections, jumping from street to sidewalk, and in general just pedalling like a mad man. It all felt really good though. The amount of stress relieved and turkey burnt off was worth the ride. As Franco said, "you can't work all the time". I believe that he was right and that when i go to studio today, my work will happen much quicker. We will see.
