A new set of bike paths placed along the Tejo river in Lisbon, are filled with phrases from a famous Portuguese poem by Fernando Pessoa, the well known lines inspired by that very river.

Translation in English: The river of my village doesn't make you think about anything. When you're at its bank you are only at its bank."

Watch a beautiful and romantic video taken of the bike path and set to music.
