Mostly the same here, same age bracket.
Riding a bike is fun.
I have a computer/desk job and it gets me some exercise each day. I also walk or run for 1/2 hr a day on my break at work.
It's silly to pay for gas for my car just to get to work and downtown.
Yesterday I spent $40 in gas to get to Moab and back for the day (took road bikes and rode in Arches NP). I'd rather spend gas money on something like that than just getting to work.
