I adore bicycling, but only because I don't ride for the enjoyment. I ride to do something, to get to work, primarily, also to get groceries or visit. During my commute, in which I used to be a caged animal in a car or train, I've found enjoyment of the details of life between hither and yon, I've gotten my exercise, I've stopped this portion of my environmental destruction of the planet and use of oil. I've found winter is an invigorating season, not a hibernation, that rain and heat can be managed with thought. I've become continuously tangibly engaged in the world. But do I ride for the enjoyment? No, it's a byproduct of the complex interactions. I'll enjoy weekend joy rides sometimes, but they are bit contrived in my world view, as I'm not that fast or visually based, so can't win or be awed easily.
