when riding a bike is fraught with risk

I saw this in the New York Times:

Women in Gaza, prevented by an unwritten rule from riding bicycles, are pushing back against the Islamic authorities and riding anyway. They want to be healthy, to travel under their own power, and feel like flying -- all the regular reasons people enjoy riding.

Just a little bit of bicycle happiness to start off your week.

Rubber side down, kiddos.
