Ditto! Have you ever gotten somewhere on your bike and realized you didn't even remember most of the route?

But seriously I agree with the point of this thread, too. When people ask why I ride, I have so many reasons: Exercise, good for the environment, love of exploring new places (even if it's unintentional... I got lost for 40 miles once in Rhode Island; let's not get into that), fun, the community aspect, the opportunity to raise money for good causes -- the list goes on. Yay for having a sport you love!
