Why do you love bicycling?
It's funny, I never rode a bicycle in my adult life until I started training for triathlons, and I got hit less than a year after I started, so I'm way more into it now when I can't even ride that much than when I was able. But having said that, riding a bike is so fun. I would be in my hardest training and work days, going through the "should I sleep or ride my bike?" question, and riding my bike always won out. It just makes me happy! I also like the community that bicycling builds, it's helped me through a lot of rough times.
What would make you or your friends and family likely to ride more in your community?
Awareness, education, and safety. The more prevalent this gets in our community the more bicyclists we will have. If our community understood the benefits that bicycle riding brings to local businesses, and the amount of money saved by bicycling/walking instead of driving, there would quite quickly be way more cyclists. My community loves being together and supporting local business, which cycling would very effectively do.
