La mirada del ciclista

Nada parece tan real, pocas cosas poseen esa cualidad de hacer real una idea: por ejemplo algo para mover y para ser movido. Un objeto que la imaginación crea se haga realidad plasma de lo que el objeto muestre sobre la idea original de creador, a veces lo que se muestra es una mínima parte de todo lo que la imaginación había fantaseado, otras veces es todo menos la idea primigenia.



Recuerdo aquella mirada del hombre creador satisfecho, pero nunca pude saber más allá. El objeto era la bicicleta de sus sueños, hecha a medida ya gusto solamente de él. Había gastado tiempo y dinero, había ganado el orgullo de ser dueño de su imaginación y ejecutor de sus ideas a la realidad tangible. Un hombre creador es un soberbio de la naturaleza humana, se cree capaz de todo.

Solamente era reconocible su altivez al observar su mirada, y su vista se engrandecía al mostrar su bici. Era el punto más alto al que podía llegar, era el punto que ya no pediría ni un ápice más. Estaba el hombre creador en el cielo tranquilo de haber hecho lo que su mente se había propuesto. Así que un día ya no regresó al taller, se fue con su imaginación a crear por otros lados cosas tal vez más valiosas.

The Cyclist Look


Nothing seems so real, few things have that quality of making an idea real: for example, something to move and to be moved. An object that the imagination creates becomes a reality plasma of what the object shows on the original idea of ​​the creator, sometimes what is shown is a small part of everything that the imagination had fantasized, other times it is everything except the original idea .


I remember that look of the satisfied creative man, but I could never know beyond that. The object was the bicycle of his dreams, made to measure and to his liking only. He had spent time and money, he had earned the pride of owning his imagination and executing his ideas into tangible reality. A creative man is a proud man of human nature, he believes himself capable of everything.


Only his haughtiness was recognizable when looking at his gaze, and his sight was magnified by showing his bike. It was the highest point he could reach, it was the point that he would not ask for one iota more. The creator man was in heaven, reassured that he had done what his mind had proposed. So one day he did not return to the workshop, he left with his imagination to create perhaps more valuable things elsewhere.

Life under the bridge

Dawn returns in the morning, the hills do not exist, the shadow is caused by the twenty floors of the twenty buildings that are surrounding the street at dawn and dusk, the sun hardly exists either, only a couple of minutes at noon. Sidewalks on my street were narrow, the street was forked and had several dead ends, all we had was greenery, clean air and a lot of leisure time. Today, nowadays, there is no longer that of the old neighborhood. The walks are rare, the people do not know each other, the noise and dust prevail, the bicycle is a fossil of yesteryear. That is why I return from time to time a couple of times a year to that street and ride my bicycle, ring the bell and greet the neighbors, because the spirit does not change even if the body changes, things return to their initial state. And there I find myself in the middle of life and in the middle of the road, between the two sidewalks that move further and further away from each other along the length and width, I am a voice...

The good time

In the corners there are many stories, there is always an immense possibility of knowing the incredible adventures of a few or simple and flat gossip from the majority of people around. This is how I met a passing traveler, a one-day character, he was an older young man who for many years had been wandering around on his bicycle from here to there. He had come to our neighborhood over a summer, he was in the Atelier to repair his baika assembled from a wheel alignment. When the older young man, whom I do not remember his name at this time, talked about his pilgrim journeys, he did so with a certain conviction of memory, shame and pride. - I was never afraid of walking on the roads at night, - he said with that certainty of walking victorious - what I feel is an electric sensation of knowing what there is after a certain place and after another and so on forever. The family, well thank you, the slave labor, the money and the property, they are nothing to me. I am from the road, I am the...

La Verde

Mr. Yé is very grumpy, he gets angry easily, he is a middle-aged person who lives near the Center, I knew him because he always scolded me when I did a moderately bad job on his bicycle, a solid steel wheel 28 with muddy tires , with a small flashlight placed in the middle of the handlebar a little rusty from the rains throughout the year. La Verde was as he called it, the bicycle could be dirty on the outside, a little neglected due to the weather, but deep down Mr. Yé had a lot of affection and appreciation for his means of transport, for his traveling companion among the twilight mists and the clarity of the night. The mood changed Mr. Yé when he rolled on top of his Green between the sidewalks of the city. Not long ago I learned that La Verde disappeared, it was stolen by some petty thief in the middle of a winter, I learned that Mr. Yé had lost his spirits and that he has been more curmudgeonly than before, his health has also worsened, he looks sad and angry with everything.
