25 Day Photography Challenge - Day 10: Transport

As a child my summer holidays revolved around my bicycle. I am extremely close to my Gran and we used to go cycling every evening. My memories of those evening bike rides are some of the most precious I have ever made. 

I photographed this bicycle, which I spied in a little alleyway, in Rome during the summer. 

There is always something magical about getting onto a bicycle and taking yourself out into the open. The fresh air blows all around you as you venture out into the world, the conductor of your own journey. 

I have always associated cycling with an immense sense of freedom. Growing up in the country-side having a bike was like having an open ticket to explore your surroundings. 

Nowadays my cycling days are few and far between but whenever I get the chance I still get a thrill as I set off on the open road. 

"Bicycle bicycle bicycle

I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride it where I like"
