I certainly never cycle on the road for recreation. That's what mountain bikes and trails are for.
I guess I'm in a different position, where I choose to cycle in because I enjoy it.
I can walk within 30 mins (£3-6).
I can take a train for a reasonable cost (£4).
I can take a bus for a reasonable cost (£3).
I can cycle commute (free).
I can über/taxi in (£3).
I can drive in (free).
I can run in (£3) but would rather run along the sea before the workday starts.
I do like saving money, hence my long-term BSO thread.
I do like doing well for the environment as I enjoy it every day.
I usually just do what I like, or else why do it? Hence by initial post.
