There's just something special about leaving work and seeing your coworkers jump in their cars while you mount your bike to begin that nice long ride home; there's a peacefulness about that trip which clears my thoughts after a long hard day. And in the morning especially when it's a bit cool outside and the air is crisp, it cycling opens up my lungs, speeds up my metabolism and prepares me mentally for my day.
I'm sure you guys can relate, but when I talk to my car hoping coworkers, they just can't relate.
And after turning 50, it just makes the old bones feel so much better in the morning........
