I love the little kids who Ring their bells at me. So I ring back
I love listening to the birds!
I love feeling like a kid
I LOVE it when I pass cars!
I love being able to keep the same distance away from the cyclist in front without having to push myself... That is until I turn.
I actually love being pushed off the footpath and onto the grass/gravel because of roadworks. All those BUMPS and holes and Divits... ^_^ My bike loves it so I love it too! (maybe I should start moutain biking...)
I love it when I see my students at organized rides and that look on their faces, like, "You ride a bike?"
I love that I have my own bike tools--and know how to use them.
I love that I'm 53, but when I'm on my bike, I feel like I'm in my 20s again. (Only it's even better now, because I have money and a cooler bike!)
You are sooooo bad - perfect :DQuote:

I love thinking about how I've grown as a rider. I can fix just about anything on my bike, if I have the tools and the time. I can eat and drink with ease and take off my bolero (although YOU should stay far away when I do that). I've gotten faster and stronger on the local hills/mountains.
I love when my bike is working just right. Right now I'm thoroughly enjoying clicking in and out and using my rear derailleur. Two things that went wonky on my bike trip.

I have another one...
I love it when I come back in from a ride and my 2 yr old son runs over to me and insists on removing my RoadID from my ankle and takes my shoes off. I think it's all about the velcro for him ;)
I love early morning sunrises and the conversations with my girlfriends, who are also stay-at-home moms.
I love riding around the lake when the mist is rising off the water.
I love telling my 5 year old all about the horses and bunnies I saw while I was out.
I just love my bike, and the freedom it gives me to have just a little time to myself each week.
Definitely the things you don't notice when you're in a car.
I also love that I can get across downtown faster than any car during rush hour.
I love cleaning my gears and chain.
I love the feeling I get when I first get on the bike--it feels like it is a part of me.
I love the burn in my glutes when I stand up in my pedals on a hard climb.
I love seeing my shadow on the road beside me.
I love standing to climb a hill and feeling my body weight shift up over the front wheel.
I love that "chunk" sound you get when shifting to a higher gear.
I love packing my hubs with new grease and getting them adjusted just right.
I luv luv luv luv going up a long, slow, gradual hill and just gradually getting faster and faster until it's "Toast at the top."
I love arriving at work awake and full of ENDORPHINS.
I love people calling out "Love the Xtracycle!" "Cool lights!"
I love the little ego strokes... I love being good at something sportsy, it was my Cinderella fantasy all those LONG years being the Hard Working Good SPort.
I love that little card on the fridge with my cholesterol and triglycerides and blood pressure.
I will love having my online course done so I am LEAVING NOW.
I love being the only moving thing on a gorgeous country road.
I love when a horse looks up and watches me pass.
I love when the lawnmower men give me smiles and thumbs up.
I love when something that used to be hard is suddenly easy.
I love it when I realize that I'm brave and beautiful.
Feeling again the moments of freedom, summer mornings, not too hot yet, riding away from home, no one could reach me or stop me, the wind in my face, some of my happiest childhood memories.
The sound of the gears shifting when I really push it hard and fly.
Yeah, clipping in just right the first time, and the strength of my leg when I pull the pedal up.
As beta said, I get there faster on my bike, and don't have to find or pay for a place to park!
Navigating the city streets like a superhero -- Go Team Danger!
Riding the beautiful bike I bought with the money I earned after proving to myself over three years that I really am a triathlete.
I love holding on for dear life while sailing downhill at a high rate of speed!
I love taking curves and not feathering the brakes.
I love stretching my muscles after a ride.
I love rocks!:D
