Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

I don't enjoy biking more than driving. I don't enjoy driving more than biking. They are mutually exclusive. I don't understand why some people feel there needs to be some sort of rivalry between the two. I love my horse too. But I am not going to start riding it to work or the grocery store or start blocking traffic with it.
I don't consider a bike a toy, it's transportation, exercise, vacation travel...in short, a lifestyle.
