Portugal's New Bike Paths are Filled with Poetry

Paula Alvarado, 16 February 2010, Argentina: TreeHugger - Cars & Transportation (bikes)
Beautiful and romantic: a new set of bike paths placed next to the Tejo river, in Lisboa, are filled with phrases from O Guardador de Rebanhos, a poem by famous Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa (which he wrote under one of is pseudonyms, Alberto Caeiro). While it would seem a little strange to read while pedaling, this video showing a trip through the paths with sweet music sure makes you want to go out and bike around. Video inside.
