I love the two-to-three mile section of my commute that involves a bike lane.

I like when I see people cross the street and I can smile at them.

I also like when I encounter homeless people and they say something crazy to me. It would scare me if I was on foot, and I wouldn't get to notice it if I was in a car. On a bike, I'm moving just fast enough to where it makes me smile. (I'm not happy that they're homeless; some of the things this lady does just makes me smile. I like her)
