I ride because I really can't imagine my life without some kind of motion in it. I am happiest when I am riding or running. Sure, the health benefits are great, but I really dig the childlike joy of riding my bike, the breeze on my face, the sound of the freewheel ratchet, shopping for bike stuff, the beauty of a paceline...I could go on and on!

Mr. Tater and I just moved, our 90 mile round trip commute by car just got reduced to a twenty mile round trip by bike commute. I am really looking forward to parking the truck and using my bike for my primary mode of transportation.
