A Comment on Contrasts

2/18/2013

Today on the bike ride into Jerusalem, I was thinking that contrasts is one of the things that is so fascinating in Israel, and one perfect example is dressing for a bike ride. I left the house at about 6:20am, it was just getting light and still pretty cold. My ride starts off with a long downhill so I have gloves, scarf, wind jacket, and earmuffs to keep me from freezing and then at the bottom, I start a 6km (4mile) climb and within 10 minutes, I am so warm that even with a Gore-Tex jacket, I need to pull off layers. Of course, the contrasts here in Israel are not just about the weather; another example is people using carts and donkeys to move merchandise in Tel Aviv right near some hi-tech centers where state of the art software is being developed for global consumption.

I am happy to see that there are recreational groups in Jerusalem. I always thought that they are very holy and strict with such things that I thought it was not available there. Can you tell us more stories about it; I am curious on how it all started that's why I am hoping that you can post a story about it. I am sure that you have a lot of members. Biking has always been fun to do; Aside from the fact that it's an adventure, we can also get healthy from doing it. That's pretty ideal, isn't it?
