Have you ever wanted something (not someONE, we've all been there) so badly that you felt like you could cry?

I want to ride my bike. Just RIDE. I don't want to go to work, clean the house, walk the dog, go on vacation, hang out with my friends, drink a beer, none of that. I just want to ride and ride and ride, so badly that I feel like I could cry at any second.

What is it about riding a bike, moving under your own power and knowing you could go darn near anywhere, that is so soul-stirring?

Maybe it's just PMS today, but darn it, someone should do a study about women and bikes. Back when bikes were first invented, they made a huge difference in women's lives. And they still do. Why?
