People used to ask my why I ride my bike and I would tell them:

- Better mental and emotional sanity
- Easy on the pocket book.
- No registration or insurance concerns.
- Ability to see things I wouldn't normally see while driving
- Reduced vehicle maintenance costs
- Reduced insurance costs
- Prolongs the life of my car
- Prolongs my life
- Healthier for myself and others.
- Weight control
- Greater mobility. (No traffic jams or parking issues)
- Running Sucks! (ref: wxduff)
- Most important of all--It's enjoyable to me.

I have a low emmision vehicle (non hybrid) which uses regular fuel and the savings to me are tremendous. I commute about 20 miles each way and I find I'm a much happier person when I ride.
