I never fully grasped how much a change in transportation could affect your perceptions of a city. Last week, our bike excursion through Barcelona really opened my eyes. I have never been a hard-core cyclist, but here, as I coasted over congested sidewalks and busy streets, the city unfolded in a unique way. I felt truly attached. Barcelona’s size was quickly revealed in a way that had never occurred to me in my trips up and down La Rambla. I passed by seas, mountains, and buildings in a matter of minutes, a task that would have taken me days by foot. Bicing card, here I come.
