Benefits of biking
Originally written on June 4, 2024
Connections I've made through the biking community has made me wiser within my community, more than my “real” “professional” job ever did or would've done.
The Greater Boston Chinese Golden Age Center (or GBCGAC) has been an organization I've seen before, but I couldn't remember its name after seeing for the first time.
However, I was returning from Boston's Bike to Work Day when I saw a GBCGAC van parked on the side of the road. I had a sort of a total recall moment, like Saga Anderson's deduction power in The Mind Place from Alan Wake 2.
I am continuously surprised at how self-sufficient the local biking community is and how resourceful its members are in a very unassuming way, while in a corporate job you have to grind you way at the bottom for so long that you forget why you even exist... sort of like The Dark Place in Alan Wake 2.
