Freedom, or Reason #4

I'm not yet sure what this one's about. I spent almost my entire career working in and around the criminal justice system, where freedom, and the lack thereof, are major themes. Our society's primary punishment for criminal acts is the deprivation of freedom, so it's obviously a primary human value. Taking off across the country on a bicycle is a major exercise of freedom. How does this all relate? I'm sure I'll have more reflections as the weeks go by.
