During the workdays, I take the TTC subway trains to reach the workplace.
During the covid 19, trains are not so busy.
Pre pandemic days, it was hard to get a seat. Thanks to the city and the employees for keeping the buses and trains running!
During the commute, I usually reading ebooks. Sometimes, I get distracted by people or dogs.
This last week, I saw a man getting on the train with his bicycle. I saw him settling comfortably on a seat with his feet on the cycle.
It looks like an old bike, with an exposed bike chain, and peeling colours.
It must be enough to take him from place to place.
I think he rests his feet on the bike very possessively. Maybe there is a special connection between man the bike. I never know.
Will the bike has a story of its own? If it has a voice, what it will tell us? Just wondering.....

The subway is a good place to people-watch.
ReplyDelete@Anvilcloud, people-watching is good to kill time on the subway.
ReplyDeleteThe man's clothes also look well-loved.
ReplyDeleteHis foot resting on the bike may have been more to keep it in place. It doesn't look like there's a kickstand, which really wouldn't be much use on the moving subway. And, yes it is most likely his mode of transit once off the train.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Beatrice. I'm sure he's got his foot on the bike so it doesn't roll away.
