I voted "other". I ride because that was my only mode of transportation as a kid. I never stopped riding. All through Elementary, raced BMX in Middle School and High School. Commuted to class in College and now for fun/fitness. I guess riding makes me feel like I did when I was a kid. Free from all the headaches and stress, free from responsiblities at work/home even for a short time, free from "the scene" at the gym, free from my car. I guess I ride because it lets me feel "Free".
If it's so free, why does it cost so much?
