    This is a scene which is becoming increasingly scarce here in Singapore – although I am still able to find quiet streets to exercise on.
    Thank you for pointing towards Alan Stilltoe: I am having such fun googling him and the short story now.

    He’s running so we don’t have to.

    I’d like to live on a road like this . . is it always quiet though or is it usually a commuter rat run?

    Similar scenes here most days. They make me feel ‘unfit’. 🙂
    Best wishes, Pete.

    Great image … I think he is just want to feel his personal freedom.
