Mountain bike Haiku

Sunrise on the hills

Sees a girl doing yoga.

I ride past, smiling.


One day I’ll manage an epic poem about my tyre choice but I need to work up to that one!

For the curious, you can read about the Japanese Haiku form on Wikipedia!

Now, over to you…

    Off the back once more

    Moles ride into the distance

    Is the cake stop near?

    The falling flower

    I saw drift back to the branch

    was a butterfly.

    Translation by kc

    The falling mole

    I saw drift back to the peleton

    was a bonking mess

    OK, OK I know it doesn’t have the simple beauty of the original! Best get back to the day job!

    The Hope hub’s clicking

    Quickens to a whir

    As the hill steepens

  4. Dave says:

    Rotation is high

    Singlespeed and rigid too

    Pure and Simplistic

  5. John R says:

    Matt’s found a dropoff

    Can’t ride that it’s way too steep

    Oh my god ahhhhhhhh splat!

    How to write haiku?

    What can provide clarity?

    One ‘on’ for On One?

    the one above is mine.

    Damned auto complete on my phone!

  8. D'AndyC says:

    The bike trail steepens,

    Mighty thighs push down strongly,

    A chain ring explodes

  9. DaveW says:

    Face red and sweating

    Exertion, pain, distant thunder

    Damn brussel sprout curry

    Ride report: Wednesday 2 June – Crunch

    Another enjoyable ride across the Surrey Hills is otherwise marred by a nasty fall for Keith

    Solstice a success

    Three wise men enjoy the dawn

    Virgins absent, damn!
