It's hard to describe why I love cycling. There is not many methods of commuting which you can truly say make you healthier and are more economical. But at its core, riding a bike is fun, and that there is the key. I feel bad for all those people taking the train everyday reading the Metro newspaper and reading about events they have no control of.
The other side to it is the self exploration in the sport side of cycling. Breaking barriers of what you think your body and mind are capable of. Putting yourself into uncomfortable places. So much of society is dumbed down for us these days so cycling provides an outlet. One of my hero's is Mark Twight, his philosophy is there is no short cuts, only conscience decision and effort will effect change. Cycling is a very honest pursuit in that sense, there's only one way to get better at cycling, cycle, lots. >>>
