Hip hip hooray today is World Carfree Day! The picture above was taken this morning on my 3 mile commute across the city from Adams Morgan to NoMA.  No cameras were hurt in the taking of this photo but it was most certainly in peril.
   
Here is a link to all the fun “Carfree” events that are happening across the nation and around the world.  Pretty cool stuff.  Hopefully people will take it to heart and try some “alternate” modes of transportation today such as walking…running…biking….skateboarding….rollerblading…cartwheeling….skipping…leap frogging…pogo sticking…teleporting……

    i like this picture because if you look at the very top part of it, you’d think the bicycle was stopped. but if you look at the bottom it looks like you’re speeding down a big hill. pretty cool how just a little bit of blurriness makes such a difference. this concludes my dorky artsy comment of the day.

    Awesome perspective. I would have certainly hurt myself and all around if I had tried this shot.
