Have you got your bike tagged?

There?s an on-going drive by the police to get London?s bikes tagged. Doing so helps them recover the owner when one is stolen. There?s also excellent initiatives such as Bike Revolution where you can buy tags yourself and add your bike to the database. I was wondering.. How many of you out there have your [...]

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps

One of the joys of pedaling around Cuba is stopping to listen to street musicians. And of course, watching the Cuban people who can't help but dance whenever they hear music. I remember watching this little old lady do a subtle little salsa step while waiting in line at the bank.

A tune you will hear over and over again is

Quizás, Quizás, Quizás (Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps).

The song was written by Osvaldo Farrés in 1947. I don't think it has ever lost its popularity. It has been covered by the likes of Nat King Cole, Doris Day, Samantha Fox, Cliff Richard, and the indie rock band Cake.

I recorded the version below on the streets of the city of Cienfuegos.

Here's a direct English translation of a few of the lines from the original Spanish version:

The days pass this way
And I am despairing
And you, you always answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

You are wasting time
Thinking, thinking
That which you want most
Until when? Until when?

It's pretty obvious that the songwriter was speaking of unrequited love. But I'd like you to consider it written about you and your travel dreams.

Can you relate to the above lyrics when it comes to that bicycle trip? Always thinking, planning and dreaming, but never going? Are you one to always answer the call of the road with "perhaps"?

Make this year the year you turn perhaps into yes!

Pack your panniers (or your trailer), get on your bike ... and go.
