Plus when I finish long rides the feeling I get of doing something like that is just amazing. It's like a natural high. And of course the nice compliments I get from my wife as well are also excellent. So congratulations to you on all the benefits you are getting from cycling as well.
I forgot about being "ill mannered" if I don't ride. I didn't realize it until a co-worker at my "day job" mentioned one morning that I must not have ridden into work. When I asked how she knew...she said that on mornings I've driven into work, I've been "ill as a hornet".
