From point a to point b and beyond...

For every bicycle rider, we can say three things. We know she got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point she will stop and get off. Most important of all, we know that if at any point between the beginning and the end of her journey she stops moving and does not get off the bicycle, she will fall off of it, which is a metaphor for the journey through life of any living thing, and of any society of living things.
