These days, my principal form of exercise is on a bicycle, which I ride a good bit upward of two thousand miles a year.
One senior Pittsburgh police officer signed a waiver on 23 June: "I acknowledge that some or all of the AVs in which I ride are in a development phase, are experimental in nature, and that riding in an AV may involve the potential for death, serious injury, and/or property loss".
It is also the site of the incredibly deadly paternoster, which I rode to the top despite collapsing with fear in the corner of the carriage.
I feel I can remember every detail; the garden, the pond, the frogspawn in the pond, the grassy hump down which I rode my tricycle repeatedly.
When I was 12, I persuaded my grandfather to buy me a horse, which I rode in the National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden.
I walked 10 minutes to the nearest San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (Bart) station, which I rode east, to the Richmond station, and transferred to Amtrak.
And why would the monorail link at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, which I rode yesterday, be so fast, efficient and actually pleasant — so different from the slow, almost kiddie-ride substitute at Newark Liberty International Airport?
Some of my artworks, too, have stories, such as the AM1 motorcycle which I rode around Germany with Alan Measles on a personal pilgrimage, the embroidered cape I wore at the opening of my Japanese exhibition and my youthful ponytail in its own ceramic coffin.
Around Dutch Corner, through a tunnel of people dressed in orange – which greatly added to my now hallucinative state – counting down the hairpins, daring to look up occasionally at the cluster of buildings at the summit, so close, so very close … One last bend, and there was the finish line, across which I rode with tears in my eyes, as exhausted and exhilarated as I've ever been.
It's actually amazing how similar the EES is to the Terra-Nova ZipRider zipline system used at Royal Gorge to quickly ferry tourists from one side of the deep crevasse to the other, which I rode to see what the experience might be like for an astronaut or launch crew.
Driving home on the expressway down which I rode in the ambulance with him while he was having his first grand mal seizure, I pull over as I hear an ambulance approaching behind me.
