The bicycle rack

They're built by people in shops around the world,
often by those who use them for daily transportation.
They're shipped to ports in different countries,
and sold in stores in cities, towns and villages.

Some buy them to get to work every day,
others to do their shopping and errands.
Some have them to get serious exercise,
others for leisurely rides through scenic paths.

Bicycles find themselves together in racks
at places like New York City or Long Branch NJ.
They can sit idle for hours or just minutes,
and sprint through traffic or roll slowly by the sea.

Some have thin tires, others fat.
A few have baskets, occasionally a bell.
Some are black, some are white,
they are also red or yellow or pink.

But they're all just bicycles,
sharing space, co-existing on roads,
getting people to work, on errands,
helping some get exercise, have fun.
