When I was a teenager and younger I loved to ride my bicycle. It's one of those things I haven't done for decades, but it's also one of the few things still popular, at least in this part of the world, Israel. One of my sons finds cycling to be the most efficient and quickest commute to work. The bonus is that it keeps him fit, and he has to be fit for his job.
Way back when, in the "old country," my friend Louise Rosenstein and I met up a couple of times in-between Bayside and Great Neck on Northern Blvd at the bicycle path near the Throgs Neck Bridge. We'd cycle to the "end of Queens," then go into a store, buy a big container of ice cream, get some plastic spoons and then finish off the ice cream, sharing it until the very last drop.
Israeli cities, including Jerusalem, have bicycle paths which you can see on the sides of roads. And even here in the Shiloh area there's a new bicycle path to tour Emek (the Valley of) Shiloh, Tel Shiloh to Eli.
When I was at Tel Shiloh on Rosh Chodesh we spotted a number of cyclists riding by.
Here's a video of it; hat tip: my husband.
