What I like most about cycling.....?
In no particular order...
Superb health benefits - I actually look forward to seeing my body fat numbers, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. And as a bonus, no need to worry about clothes becoming too small...
Great fitness - nothing makes me feel younger than knowing I'm fit enough to do almost anything I want physically.
Mobility - I don't have a car so the bike is how I get around. There's nowhere in town I can't get to on my bike.
Sights/Sounds - is there a better way to get to know your city or even travel than on a bike?
Social consciousness - biking is the most efficient form of transportation in the world, period. Not to mention it is generally very clean (yes, tires & manufacturing process do contribute some greenhouse gases, but much less than that in the production cars. plus bikes last far, far longer than cars and make cities & streets much more pleasant)..
Cost - The amount of money I save on insurance, gas, repairs, etc is massive compared to owning a car. Granted, some people really need a car for their job, etc and/or the places they live in don't have adequate transit - so I understand going car-less isn't for everyone. But for me it certainly is one more motivating reason to bike.
