Two-Wheeled Dream

Above: Dramatization of Vide and Emo's Bike Trip in and 'round Sofia.

The Dream was born no sooner than two years ago and roughly resembled a girl (Vide) and a boy (Emo) on top of two cutting edge mountain bikes, riding amid exotic places...

A trained eye would easily spot at least several weak positions, that could easily turn into unsolvable problems... Expensive bikes are very hard to be solely put at some place at home, and expensive bikes and exotic places are nearly impossible to be put in one place.

Two years we were trying to figure out how was the magic done for other couples, who boastfully wasted their time riding pairs of amazing cycles on flat ground like parks or community gardens...

Finally the idea came uninvited - we could rent the bikes for a day and simply ride the nearest hill that would pop against us! Well... things got organized the very next day and events just passed by us at a great speed (because time passes by slowly when you are anxiously waiting for something, but once it happens it rushes like a bullet train!) - we rented the bikes with those guys, paid what's necessary, grabbed them and rode for about 10 hours with two brunch-brakes!

Streets, parks, forests (the so called Hunting Park in Sofia, parts of which look like a real, dense and mosquito-overpopulated forest) and even Vitosha mountain were tried and tested until the hands of time slowly gathered the time to bring the bikes back and the happy fatigue of an all-day ride :)
