Today after jogging I’ve thought about Russian conditions for living…. Why there no bicycle tracks here? Anywhere I tried to jogging or ride on bike – I felt myself annoyed and sadly…. There are dogs or cars. It’s scared to hear grinding of dog’s paws and bark behind me! There are no conditions for a riding on bike… Bad roads filled with cars, high borders and angry drivers ! Drivers can stop their car for a few minutes and tell you a great heap of terrible words about “who you are..” and “where you should go…” ! Unfortunately a great number of Russian people think that bike is for fun, kids and sportsmen. I wonder who buy bikes here and what for?
I saw absolutely different situation in Holland. Everybody use bikes, from birth till death…It’s not a joke! It was amazing and unbelievable for me! Beautiful tracks with special traffic lights for bikes. I like it very much! And it’s so healthy and good for environment. I think this example with bikes only a little part of a not good social situation in Russia. But sometimes I think only I am disturbed by wild dogs, terrible roads, absence of bike tracks and state’s system “not for human”. I calm down myself with thought : “Someday I will visit Holland again and can feel fresh air, look at clean forests and will ride on bike in any time and anywhere!
