Memory lapse

To Old Upper Thomson Road, 30 km. I do laps tonight. Round and round I go; after three laps, I can barely remember how many rounds I've gone. I will myself to do a fourth lap, then call it a night. The only interesting thing that happens is passing by a pack of cyclists going the other way. But there are a few scares; a pedestrian crosses the road, ignoring me bearing down with lights flashing. Another stands in the shadows, then pops out just as I pass. Ah, the technological challenges of cycling in Singapore. How do I see in the dark without infrared vision? How do I build a force field around me that allows wind in my face, yet protect me from those who seek to bring me down?
