My favourite transportation

in Weekend Experiences3 years ago

I have travelled to many places overseas and domestically in my lifetime and have used many modes of transport from cars, trucks, motorbikes, fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, pushbikes, horses, roller skates, trains, kayaks, boats, ships, scooters, funiculars, cable cars, elevators, travelators, shopping trolleys (carts),office desk chairs, buses, buggies, quad-bikes, trikes, go-karts...I think you get the idea.

This week the #weekend-engagement topic week 47 asked about favourite transport and I figured I'd better answer my own question and talk about my own favourite transport.

One could think my favourite transportation would be my F100 pickup featured in this post from yesterday but I actually have a different answer which has something to do with the images in this post...Can you work it out? [Don't worry, I'm going to tell you.]

You're looking at my ATAC duty boots by 5.11 Tactical. These are not the current model as I've had these for over four years. Some changes have been made to the new model but nothing too life-changing - These are still good to go, fully operational, so there's no need to replace them. Need over want folks, that's the way I operate.

Now...I'm not saying these particular boots are my favourite mode of transport, or any other boots for that matter...They go one the ends of what actually is! Worked it out yet?

My legs and feet combination

That's right folks, my favorite form of transport is my legs and feet! They're pretty legit too...Well, I guess this depends on who is doing the looking. You'd have to see them in real life to be in a position to judge I guess, but I guess they could be described as generally, reasonably, averagely legit; Ok, so I have a little-toe malfunction on my left foot but...Still totally averagely legit in a mediocre way! Don't make a thing of it though, the toe, I don't want my little toe to feel self-conscious.

My legs have been with me for a fair while, slightly over 51 years I guess now, and have served me well carrying me into, and out of, places that wouldn't have been possible unless I had them.

They start around my hip area and extend downwards all the way to the ground with one on the left and the other on the right side. They work in unison along with their sub-components like knees, feet and ankles of which somewhat unsurprisingly, I have two of each.

I try not to have favourites, left to right, but in truth I have a soft spot for the right leg...Shh, don't tell the left or it might cease to operate in protest, go on strike or something. That would be problematic.

Right on the end of each leg, at the ground end, is a foot each with five toes. These feet come in handy and make a convenient place to strap on my ATAC's or any other footwear item I decide to adorn my feet with; It's quite fortuitous.

Below you can see those feet things I mentioned at lower right and, if you look carefully, you can make out the lower section of my averagely legit legs which are nicely tanned because it's been summer, and I'm sort of mocha coloured anyway. I brown up nicely in the sun, sort of like a piece of toast in a toaster, although I'd probably not accept being spread with Nutella and eaten.

There's a couple reasons why my legs/feet combination is my favourite mode of transportation with the first being that they are just so adaptable.

They can run, walk, stroll, hike, climb, swim, dance, hop, jump and kick people too...Legit right? I have told a little lie here though...My legs can't dance. Well, they can but one does what it wants and the other does something completely different...Then, my body does the same, arms, head and torso also acting independently in some bizarre display of movement...Even my eyes get in on the act, both end up pointing it opposite directions and one goes bigger than the other. The effect is somewhat disturbing to observers so I have a strict no dance policy.

If my legs' adaptability and flexibility their, we're up for anything adventurous nature, is not enough to make them my favorite transportation here's another reason.

They're also pretty fashionable. They can wear jeans, shorts, pyjama's suit-trousers, camouflage fatigues, socks, different types of shoes, boots and flip flops and can even go naked like in the above image to the lower right. So...That's why my legs are my favourite transportation.

I'm pretty sure that every other form of transportation I've ever used, or will ever use, wouldn't be quite the same without my left-right leg-foot combination. I mean how would I even get to that other transportation if I didn't have the aforementioned appendages? And so, these two most legit means of transportation take the title of most favoured transportation and I have to say, they're pretty happy with the accolade although the attention makes them shy.

Now, how about you? What's your favourite form of transportation? Feel free to comment below and if you would like head over to the weekend-engagement topic post week 47, take a read on what to do and leave a comment there - Or do both y'all.

I would say feet for transport also, but I’ll swap the boots for some light weight sneakers for a run or just bare foot on the beach.

I like those ninja shoes too, the ones that go around each toe...So good for ninja stealth missions.

Excellent answer to your question, very descriptive most used form of transportation to get onto or off any other mode....

Thanks Joan, yep I agree no legs, no fun!

Most used means of getting around...

Love the boots!!
Maybe I'll borrow them for The Grim Folks 😂

Lol, yeah they'd be perfect for that!

Very nice choice. Argh legs, they're definitely a dream and I enjoy being on mine. Great submission mate well done!

I've had legs for 51 years now...I'm pretty attached to them.

Those legs don't look a day over 25!

Oh wow @galenkp,
Your legs and feet combination is your favorite mode of transport.
Thanks for dmthe detailed description of it's location, I never would have known where yours was.

Yeah, I thought I'd better let people know exactly where my legs were in case they weren't sure. I good like that, always helping people gain understanding and wisdom.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

😅

No frills transportation ... legs and feet fit the bill. Don't feel to bad about feet that can't dance ... you have plenty oh company...

Haha, yeah there's plenty of people who dance worse than me I'd say.

Drat! I was going to use a photo of my Scarpas that I love so much - looks like I'll post about plan B!

Haha, you gotta get up way early to beat the G-dog you know. Still do it though...Makes no difference. Although now I'm wondering about plan B and digging the fact you have one!

Ha, ha, ha. I can't dance. So I'm out of the latino stereotype. This was fun to read. It's like a love letter to your legs. I bet their are legit. Tell me G-dog, did you caught Faith's attention with those legit legs? That might be the story behind it.

My favorite transportation is also my pair of legs, which I've been working out for more than a month now. And they are looking legit too. But that also the depends of who's watching. I used to dislike walking because my legs weren't so strong as a kid. But after I move from my hometown for the first time, I stated walking to many places. I remember also those trips to Margarita's Island with my grandfather and walking boulevards and malls and many places and buying stuff and eating.

This has made my legs my favorite thing. I don't do much fashion with them. But they could look nice in a tailored suit, jeans and many more. I envy your boots because I don't any, but I think it's nice that I don't. There aren't many places I go where I'd need boots like that.

My legs have taken me far. I used to walk a lot back when there were strikes outside college. I used to go to work walking from college. That's a long way to go. And I think it helped me to keep my mind in track with time. Thanks to legs we have other means of transportation.

Here's to legs being legit! 🍻

Love letter to my legs...Well, I guess it's been a love of sorts. I mean, they've always been there to support me. 😂

Working out your legs huh? Legit are they? Well, maybe a post needs to ensue...Don't hide them behind your keyboard. Lol.

It seems your legs have been with you for a long time, as mine have with me. It must be comforting that they have stuck around with you huh?

Yes, that is very true.
I've been thinking, when I read from the beginning.
You say everything you mention is not your means of transportation.
So you show your picture.
I have thought that your means of transportation are your feet and your boots.

So after I read the continuation down, it turned out to be true, Lol.

Thank you for sharing @galenkp.

Exactly!

My legs and feet. 😬

Legit feet 😄

Lol. Best to have legit ones don't you think?

For sure, you need them to walk home if your car breaks down again 😉 🤣

I had to look at my own legs to be sure they're exactly as you described them.

They are - thank God!

Lol...Well this is a good thing.

So in a nutshell this is an affectionate love letter to your legit legs. 😏

Well, not so much a love letter, more just a post explaining that my legs are my favourite form of transport.

You all must be really close then 😅.

I enjoyed reading this.

Cheers.

Lovely boots, nice legs also!

Hihi!

I had some for several years from La Sportiva. I had done so many trips with them. Then I had some Columbia ones and now I have a pair of uncomfortable ones and I think I will buy some new comfortable ones from La Sportiva again.

Thank you for sharing this post and showing us an insight into your life also.

Having good boots is critical for a bloke like me who likes to hike so much. I hope you can find some comfy ones!

I have become attached to a certain model and will look for that model in different brands and their products. It is very important for my back and spine, as well, to have something much more comfortable than before now that I will go for recovery and from now on.

I might come to show off when I get them hihi!

There is nothing worse than hiking in boots that are not comfortable. Boots and shoes in general can bring so much pain and discomfort if not well-chosen.

Hmm, gives me an idea for a #weekend-engagement topic.

😬

Yes, indeed. They have to be comfortable for the legs for walking better, I prefer the trekking ones. For the spine also. The new ones that I have are horrible for the spine even if they're from a good brand.

I have to appreciate all sort of shoes, boots also that offer longer comfort as I am attached to my boots when I travel and to some sandals that are meant for travelling also by foot.

I am curious about the topic for this weekend but I will have patience again.

Good night!
Hugs!

Patience is a virtue they say. I still haven't come up with a topic...Will try and think about it tomorrow whilst I'm at work so I get paid to think! Lol.

Hihi!

I hope you'll have a creative time at work tomorrow.
Will you come up with a very challenging idea?
I hope so!

Good money in it I hear. Actually never heard that at all. Still, there's a demand, small as it may be.

Haha, yeah I guess it can be construed that way. Nothing wrong with it though.
