骑单车环游中国

 

一直以来的梦想

           很羡慕和佩服那些骑单车横跨大陆,环游世界的人.

           在这个问题上,我并没有很强的"创记录"的心态.所以对于我来说,骑单车环游世界就算了,但是游遍中国却是我一直以来想做的一件事尽管这好像并不是那么新鲜了...

           无论如何,我希望自己能骑着单车走遍祖国的各个角落,或许我并不会有很长的时间来完成这个愿望,但我零散的时间总是有的,所以,我希望在没个暑假都能抽出一段时间来一点一点地去做这件事.

   

   

           骑单车旅行并不是一件很轻松的事情.要有体力,要有耐力,还要能坚持不懈,忍受无聊.Janne Corax,一个骑单车环游时间的前辈说: 我为什么喜欢这项运动? 有四个理由. 一.对未知事物的好奇心. 二.这个星球赠予我们的多样性的地貌. 三.骑单车本身的挑战. 四. 习惯性的无聊,每天的生活都是一样的.

          是的,在路上你会碰到很多有趣的人和事物,但是更多的却是乏味. 你还要面对一切困难,从天气,路况,炎热,寒冷,饥饿...各种意想不到的突发事件...还有你的爱车的脾气...

          这些"乏味"和困难,不也是骑单车旅行的魅力么? 呵呵...

          实在是太想去了...

          要疯了...
