Reseña del libro "The Bicycle Cowboy (en Inglés)"
The Bicycle Cowboy When you have sung all the songs you can remember, debated the world's problems, prayed about everything you can think of, well the truth is, hours on a bicycle turn into days and then weeks, and you begin to look for ways to entertain yourself. One beautiful morning while riding my bicycle between Mile City and Plevna Montana, I saw deer, antelope, horses and a lot of cattle. As I rode along I noticed herds of cattle gathered next to the fence that lined the road. The cattle always looked at me, during those cool early hours of the morning, as if I was supposed to do something for them. That's when I got the idea - They are waiting to be fed! Then I thought again - But wait! They have miles and miles of pasture grass and an abundance of water, why would they be waiting for someone to feed them. Another thought came to mind - Maybe they are curious about this person riding by on a bicycle. That was an 'aha' moment. They might think I'm on a horse. Maybe they think I'm there to herd them to another place. Then I got the idea - What if I could herd the cattle up the fence line as a cowboy would do on a horse. I began to whistle, holler, and shout: "Get up! Yaw!" Well lo and behold the cattle began to moo, move, and then run as I circled back behind the herd and then alongside until I was leading them over the hills, through gullies and streams until they came to a fence. I thanked them for the fun and continued riding while they stood there bewildered. That's when I decided I was - The Bicycle Cowboy; after all, how many other people have herded cattle on a bicycle?!
