I got myself a bicycle last month and invested in the proper equipment - helmet, cycling gloves, a cycle stand (I did not know that cycle stands did not come with mountain bikes. I suppose people who uses mountain bikes have their bikes lying on the ground in the nature. Very different from city bikes), changed the easily-removable screws to tools-required screws. I have been cycling to work ever since. We are not encouraged to travel by train to avoid the spread of the virus, unless you are an essential worker i.e. without them, the society is unable to function.
As today is a public holiday which is Kristi Himmelsfärdsdag, the 40th day after Easter i.e. the day Jesus went up to Heaven, we took the opportunity to cycle around. It was a lovely sunny day. We cycled around Kista, Husby and Tensta which has a beautiful neighbourhood. Cycled past a farm and saw some livestock. So heartwarming to see that. In Swedish, the bicycle is also known as iron horse (järnhäst pronounced as 'yarn-hest') and we saw wooden horses where I took a photo with them! We saw paragliders on top of a hill which was a pain to cycle up. I ended up pushing my bicycle up and down the hilltop because it was too steep for me.
I love the yellow flowers on the field and I requested a photo with them, which unfortunately, did not turn out as how I expected. The yellow flowers are too small and probably insufficient to be captured in the camera.
