Well, sometimes I just prefer to forget that I have alternatives: I pretend to be in a wild remote place with no public transportation. And since I don't have a car... well, biking is the only way. Actually, since I decided in September that I will bike every day rain or shine, I truly do not have any alternative. I just ruled anything else out for myself so I don't even consider anything else. It's that simple.

Other motivational factors:

- I hate bus lines and I hate buses.
- I like to brag and see amazed looks on people's faces.
- I like to think of myself as special and hardcore.
- I remind myself that even when I am reluctant to get into the saddle, once I am actually out and riding I usually start to have fun.
