Back in the '70s to late '90 I rode a lot until I had my bikes stolen ('70s Bottecchia Special & Asama Blacktusk hybrid).
I just kind of lost all the momentum there for ~10 years, but then I bought a Supercycle Tempo Hybrid for 50% off on impulse when I was wandering through Canadian Tire.
I put many Kms on that bike and got back into the habit of daily rides.
A couple of years ago I bought a Giant Escape Hybrid project off of craigslist and gave the Supercycle bike to the local thrift store. It's a real upgrade to the bikes I've had before and I''ve set it up as my main means of transportation, rarely ever drive the car now.
