Great essay. I realized that I do amble but oddly enough only on my bike. Riding to work takes about 25 minutes. Riding home can take an hour or more. Sometimes I race for the physical joy of it but often I amble. Coasting instead of working or doubling back to stop and see a flower better. Sometimes I will sidetrack for blocks just because I like the look of the yards on that street or, if there are no cars, ride in sine waves like a six year old pretending I don't care if someone happens to see me.
cyclamble? amblycle?
