Bicycles on the Corniche

Sometimes, the stress of the week is too much and I have to get out. It so happened that a handful of my friends here were getting together to go for a bike ride along the Corniche in Abu Dhabi on a Thursday night. Thursday nights are like Friday nights in the United States, people are done with the work week, are out and about, and in a good mood. The cost of renting a bike is 20 dirhams for the hour (about $5) so I decided it wouldn't break me to get out and go with them to enjoy the good weather and have a pleasant chat and a bit of fun and, frankly, I needed the exercize. It has been well over a year since I'd been on a bike.
