Why do you Ride?
This is a better poll than the one I created before.
Simple question.
Why?
(You can choose more than one option)

cars, subway, buses, walking, running, are too slow. Though I do enjoy running for fitness.

teadogg does not give me any unless I put in my miles everyday. He says I need to work myself before I work......anyway. and I have a nervous twitch in my legs that just coincidentally is in the motion of pedaling.

If I chose all of the options, does that mean I screwed up the results?
I ride because...
a. it provides some form of basic fitness
b. I'm training to become somewhat of an athlete (I joined an adult soccer league for the summer)
c. Riding during my lunch hour allows me to do errands I don't need my car to do and it lets me do a. and b. and e. and f.
d. well, i used to commute to work by bike. I guess I don't do this one anymore.
e. Riding is fun and leisurely if I'm riding with my kids. Riding in traffic is fun but not leisurely.
f. I'd like to think I'm cool, but those in the cars that pass me probably think I'm an idiot for riding around on a bike in traffic.
g. refer to answers a. thru f.

I always feel like I'm training for something... but I have yet to figure out what.
