Why We Ride Cycle?

“I like riding a fast as I can and I love the fact that a group of cyclists can ride faster and farther than one alone.”

“I just like it. It’s a good workout, plus it’s relaxing. It’s low impact, and the time just zips by, whether you’re listening to something good on the iPod or seeing some great things in nature as you ride by.”

“Reminds me of when I was a kid.”

“Great exercise ! I commute a couple days in a week and I love not paying 4.00 a gallon.”

“Love to ride, since I live within 2 miles of where I work – I ride every chance I get!!”

“Riding is absolutely wonderful. I think we all need to go outside and get some fresh air every now an then. I also see a lot of nature and wildlife on the bike trails. I speak to a lot of people walking, running and riding during my trips. It’s just a great experience.”

“When I was a teenager my church took annual multi-day bike trips. I went, and even though I had trouble finishing a couple of the trips because of health issues/injuries, I thoroughly enjoyed them. As an adult I’ve continued to ride as often as I can. Great way to stay fit and clear my mind.”

“Riding is fun. It’s great exercise, gets me outside and I get to see all kinds of great scenery. Plus, there’s a huge sense of accomplishment that comes when you summit some massive hill.”

“I bike for several reasons. First, I absolutely LOVE the feeling of just propelling myself thru the air. Second, it’s an amazing connection I have with my Dad who is now retired. We have ridden bikes together as long as I can remember and I am so grateful that he’s in great health and can ride with me as often as possible. We have explored so many trails, paths and routes together. It’s always a time for us to catch up with each other and relax while we ride. Third, I swear there is a zen-like meditation benefit for me. I NEVER feel as good as I do when riding and after. When I have to go for a while without riding I get really antsy and it’s all I can do to not think about and plan my next ride. Walking is great but kinda too slow for me and I’m not a runner. Biking is absolutely perfect for me because I feel so capable of going as far or as fast or as slow as I want. it’s just the right speed. I LOVE Biking!!”

“Love the feeling it brings, the wind blowing by, the scenery, the exercise, and most of all the freedom.”
