So what is it that keeps you riding?
Some ramblings:
What are the alternatives to exercise? Sitting in front af a TV?
What happens to me and my body if I choose an alternative to exercise? What happens if I keep cycling (or fast walking or whatever exercise fits me)?
And, most of all, I love the freedom and pleasure from a well-lubricated absolutely quiet bike pedaling outside wherever I decide to go, and being able to think, reflect, contemplate, see the first buds of spring, the last golden leaf of fall, the full-blown flowers of summer and the stillness of snow and winter.
Yesterday was pretty cold, so I walked 3.5 miles instead of my bike ride. That is okay with me, also. I love walking in nature.
I see so many folks unable to walk a mile or ride 10 miles! I don't want to be them.
