I love riding my bike, period. BUT I think commuting makes me look as freakin cool as ever, a major part is ego, I feel sophisticated. Taking care of my health and well being is soooo important! One time a coworker who drives was arguing about the enviroment and I almost wanted to say "oh yeah I ride a bike and you always drive" but then I realized, before opening my fat mouth, you jack ass you ride your bike because you enjoy it, that's it! I couldn't take credit for sensitivity for the environment. A correlation but no purposeful causation. ofcourse I probably look like a 35 yr old virgin.
