What Inspires You?

[Urlea]

I'm inspired to cycle because...

1.) My road-bike is the nicest bike I've ever owned & feels amazing to ride.

2.) The cross-training of cycling has dropped 1-2minutes off my running mile.

3.) We are a one car household so I get plenty of opportunities to commute.
I absolutely love to & I feel like I am doing something good for the environment by using one less vehicle on a weekly basis.

Being able to do something for myself, all alone. I also think the roadie tan is just cool! First thing in the morning, along the ocean, the smell alone is energizing.

Just being outside in the fresh air with sunshine on my cheeks makes for a very pleasant day.

There are a number of cyclists on TE who do some serious distances (that inevitably involve a lot of climbing) who inspire me. I want to be them when I grow up!

The feel of the wind and the sun on my face always makes me smile.

It's the time of day when I can feel like a kid again.

I work with people who have a lot of cognitive and physical challenges due to various accidents. They inspire me to ride my bike (and run and swim) and be thankful for my health.
