Reasons I Ride a Bike

+ My daughters
+ It's fun & I enjoy it deeply
+ For my health
+ The sense of simplicity
+ It's relatively inexpensive
+ The sense of self-reliance & independence
+ I see it as an act of public responsibility
+ The sense of being in or part of my environment
+ To be part of a community
+ Why not?
+ For a hobby (for lack of a better word), i.e., to have something other than work to do, think, & talk about
+ It clears my head in a way very few things do
+ It's capable of slowing the world down & teaching patience
+ When commuting, it quicker than a car more often than not & you get better parking spaces
+ I've never been a car guy
+ To be outside
+ What Would Lance Do?
+ It's fashionable (sometimes)
+ It's unfashionable (sometimes)
+ So I can order anything from the menu
+ For those who cannot & their supporters

look for more to come...
