I totally agree, Python! I am so happy at not having to use my car as much, and I LOVE how commuting makes me feel. I am SO much calmer, and I feel fantastic all day long.

As for me, I really want to get rid of my beer gut (having a significant other that I homebrew with for the past 4 years, plus a kegerator, has NOT helped), and keep getting healthier--stronger, faster, better! Plus, I already have awesome legs, and I want them to get more awesome.

And can I get an "amen" on the sleep bit! I agree, nothin' but sweet, sweet sleep.

Since I started commuting to and from work I've saved well over £100 which has gone towards the cost of my new bike.

Then of course, there's the all-important health benefits. I'm very slim anyway but my leg muscles are toning up quite nicely, I sleep sooooo much better and awaken refreshed instead of like something nasty out of Night of the Living Dead I'm better tempered too (I tend to be very fiery).

Perhaps some people are jealous - and a bit frightened. Some are just plain lazy.

Amen!

I am thinking, after an interesting thread on bikejournal, that I want to infuse my comments about biking on the roads to include that it's not just "hopping on the bike," because riding in traffic - even the relatively light stuff we have - is 'way different from tooling around as a kid. Lots of people think riding is so very scary - and sometimes it is, but often it isn't *because* I've learned how to do it and how to "read" traffic and ride as a vehicle.
