It gets me away from work, my noisy kids and gives me time to recharge before it all starts again, it means i can feel hungry before my meals, and sleep well at night i love it so much i started my own club cumbria42.com

…because it’s healthy,free,fun,liberating,eco friendly,fast,efficient,sexy,cool,stylish,calming,effortless……..:)

I can avoid the tube strikes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYVJSOFZxDE

Cycling is the most energy efficient mode of transport I know of, its not just that though. Cycling has provided myself and my partner with a new (to us) option for holidays. I ride because I love it, I ride because it helps me get fitter, I ride because sue (my partner) loves it. says it all really :-D

because it is the best way to explore a country. It also keeps me fit and healthy and is just a damn fun way to get about.

Because of days like this. :) Cycling through Spain.

because i don’t have to drive to the library….or the grocery store…or the chipotle…

obesity struck a young child at the age of 12, and mountain biking became the cure. Now I ride 45 miles a day throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area at tour speeds. I am 16.

I started cycling at the age of 42. Never had a bike before then so had lessons.  Now I cycle because it’s freedom, fun, sheer pleasure and keeps me away from public transport.

I like risking my life.

I need/want to go somewhere.

I can shout shout ‘bus wankers’ at people standing at the bus stop

My dad threatened to disown me one time about 20 years ago when I wanted to upgrade my freewheel on my Marin Hawkhill because he said it was a waste of money.

Now I can upgrade my freewheel as much as I want… except no, because I don’t have that much money.

I’m making up for never being taught as a kid. I’ve now been riding for 3 years and I’ve never felt more free. I’m 24.
