Here are some of my reasons why I cycle commute: It's a lot more fun then driving. It's a great excercise. I need a daily dose of adrenaline rush, and cycling provides that, especially cycling through traffic. Save a lot of money on gas and maintenance, my truck only gets driven occassionally. Thinking of going car-free in the future. I feel more energetic, healthy and stronger then ever before. Cycling makes me feel much younger. My job can be stressfull at times and I found that cycling is very good for getting rid of stress. Don't have to worry about getting overweight, I can eat a lot, drink a lot of beer and still be very lean. I am trying to be a moving billboard, and promote cycling as a means of transportation, and not just a hobby or sport.
