I use a bike to get around because I like sports and because it saves time.
People can’t tell I’m a girl when they see me from behind,
Because I wear a backpack and loose clothing.
That way no one pays me any attention..
But the verbal harassment starts as soon as they see my face
Some buses and cars even try to get in my way, in an attempt to make me fall off.
It’s as if it’s a crime for a girl to like sports.
On the other hand, I’m encouraged by the way old men and women look at me.
They miss this kind of freedom and adolescence.
They appreciate it.
