    It's a positive sign that you like your bike alot.

    For simple walking around in any city, I get bored of walking after 4-5 kms. I'd rather get to my destination on bike. So I dislike sprawly cities that I visit which have a much smaller population. It makes no sense to me to design cities in this unfriendly way.

    I think the best thing to describe how I feel about cycling after all these years, is it's just part of daily life (well during cyclable weather). It doesn't feel like a burning passion all the time or many times. It's just if I don't do it for a few days/weeks/months, I feel something is missing and my body definitely feels not quite right. YOu may feel this if you haven't bike commuted for a long time.

    To me it's a positive sign, that I've integrated cycling into daily life. Like brushing your hair daily..or whatever better metaphor.

    I do love cycling only during the times when the weather is glorious, see fantastic scenery, at the end of a long/difficult ride or for therapeutic reasons, I need to regain my strength. Then I'm happy at that point in time on bike. Most times it's a neutral feeling inside me where my thoughts and feeling wander somewhere else during the ride.

    There are also times, because we don't have a car, I do occasionally get tired of the multiple times I must lock my bike to do different errands in 1 day, ec. There is a repetition for that routine..that's just boring, etc. But the feeling doesn't hang around me for long by the end of the day.
