When you are a baby, you get a trike; when you are old you, you get a
trike. When you are a baby, you pee in your pamper; when you are old,
you pee in your pamper. What's the purpose of life?
Such a question passed through my mind as I ran my trike all over
town. Owning a trike --an old people's trike-- has not been a casual
decision. It was the result of the lack of space I find to use my road
bikes, as well as to take advantage of a generous seat. Yes, bicycles
are made for the road, notwithstanding their constant presence on
sidewalks. Once you have a large seat you can sit and ponder why
people behave one way or another. Pedestrians and cars often ignore
you as if you were from another dimension. With a trike though I can
choose to "go with the flow," even if that means going 1 mile per
hour. I go "RING, RING, PEDESTRIAN ON WHEELS!" and they look behind.
"What's that?"
Well, what's the purpose of life anyway? I think it is to struggle.

So what's the Buddhist's approach to helmets? Helmets or no helmets?
Pampers or no pampers? Condoms or no condoms?
Wisdom of the jungle says you better be ready for worst case scenario.
I often wear a PITH HELMET, but that's only for coolness effect and
protection from overhanging branches. Yes, danger comes from above too
as you ride sidewalks...

To be worry free and enjoy the warmth of peeing in your pants is part
of it.

We have doubts that you may find trikes and Trikkes in Heaven. It
wouldn't be fun anymore where you can't die. Actually you may traverse
the whole Universe on a trike, given the amount of time that you got
in your hands.
