Fun first, fitness second. 2 hours in the gym is like work, but 2 hours on a bike is like a mini-vacation.

-DR

I ride for fun, but in the future would like to give racing a try.

If you make this a poll, you may get more responses. I also agree with AirBeagle1 on the "Fun" category.

Adventure and transportation.

The excuse to wear spandex and have shaved legs.

1. Food
2. Fun
3. Fitness

Uhhmmm, yes! All of the above.

Road rash and chain ring tattoo's.

Fitness, mental health.

Fun and fitness for me.

Fun. I would ride if it was not healthy. Its the only type of excersise that I have ever done without bieng bored after 20 minutes.
One of the coolest feelings however was when I went into a charity race a few months ago.It was the first organised competitive activity I had done since schooldays. When I was 'racing' through the built up areas people were lined in the streets at 6:30 am cheering us on.It was such a great feeling to have strangers encouraging you and clapping that I could understand pro athletes getting a rush about competing.

Fitness and Fun

You can't compete without fitness.

Both I guess.

I ride for greater fitness and mental health :) Cycling has been my outlet for years. Something about the road that can erase a bad day. I do enjoy racing occasionally, but it's not the sole reason why I ride a bike.

Danger & road rage.
