VeganBikeChick I love your name! Here is what I have been trying to tell my friends to get them into biking. Personally getting into some type of bike shape is the hardest part of biking. It is not the 70 mile ride I did last week that was the hardest, it was the 15 mile ride I did 5 years ago before I had really ridden much. One you are in shape my bike craves me, and I crave my bike. But it is when I have taken some time off that I just dont want to ride.

What gets me on my bike for miles and miles everyday is:
the fresh air
I'm outside
the speed
pretty flowers I dont see in cars
the fact that I rode and didn't waste gas didnt pollute the environment
that I burned a few extra calories
and that I moved my body
that I feel strong
that I love my bike so much it makes me feel free

Hope that helps
