My bike and Graffiti on the Walls

I've been going back and forth this neighborhood, but still...at times we just take everything for granted that things around us are worth-while to look at, too.

The painting or graffiti is indeed a bright break-up from daily routine. 

The 2-meter high tunnel that helps connect the otherwise separated neighborhood. 

Right on the left and right side of the tunnel are the graffiti I used as the background of some pictures.

A yellow cho..cho train graffiti and my bike.

Cycling around the Neighborhood (Again)

"Oh, right behind those trees over there is our home"

Yes, this is another perspective of looking at our own home where we live in. 

Today, after going back home from class, I took my bike on a self-portrait tour around the neighborhood. Well, actually...I was going back home only to realize that I DID NOT bring home-keys...^^, so instead of waiting for the kids to come back..I just took my bike and off I went to 'spend an afternoon' on my own with my bike. 

It's about 4 pm and no one was seen around the bike-lane along the creek that runs next to it. 

"Peace", oh, I just loved being on my bike..." 

Simply looking at this picture makes me think if I am really living in a big city like Seoul. Well, I am. But, the best part is that I could just go around the park, the creek, and spend the whole day..enjoying this outdoor activities...of course..if I DO NOT have any paper to do.^^ 

.

Like today. (gee) of, course I do have some paper to finish, but..it was my post-midterm week, so..I could just concentrate on my own 'term of fulfillment' 

Parked by bike on a small bridge over the creek and the bike let me take a pic of his... 

Oh, there's a crane..I mean...a bird...that's kinda big...considering the fact that we're at the apartment-filled complex.  

Then, off I kept on cycling until I found an outdoor gym...typical of any parks across Seoul, at least. The green trees which made it even more tempting ...got me an idea that I'd better 'immortalize' this moment. 

Again, my beloved red-bike. 

In case, you may wonder what it looked like right in front of the outdoor gym... 

Then, off again we went home...^^ 

Eyra's new Bike

As her birthday present...we bought her a new bike that she'd been wanting. That means..her old bike is now her little sister's. She chose her own color--unquestionably ...pink.  

Since I didn't have enough time to choose from so many collections available, I just asked her to get the one she'd laid her eyes on..and she just did. 

After an-hour or so...adjusting and fixing some non-functioning gears...., the bike was ready be used. 

She's so excited, for sure.

Bicycle Locker

Yep...you read it right. At first..I thought it was just another cabinet or any other lockers. It is not. It's a specially designed locker for bikes. Yes..anyone who comes and goes back and forth the subway and having to lock or store the bikes..they no longer need a long overdue locker coz this particular locker is a kind of modern-day bike lockers.

Just look at the boxes attached in between. 

There are instructions on how to operate or use the bicycle locker like this one. I tried to take a closer look at this but I refrained to.  

This locker room is at Hwarangdae station. I bet there are a bunch others like this one in any other subway station.

On weekends, lot of people are using their bikes to explore the city and I think this bicycle locker is deemed to have a great and multiple uses for the purpose of having fun.
