I love the feeling of getting somewhere by my own steam.
Every day I cycle to work, town, anywhere......... I rejoice at the money still in my pocket rather than the greedy petrol/bus company's (yes, I'm a typical tight yorkshire woman!).
Some b#####d 2 years ago told me he had a Saracen road bike to sell and now I'm in the midst of a biking addiction with an Allez Sports and a Cube carbon beast and more cycle wear in my wardrobe than normal clothes.
because i get to get out and get some fresh air, all the bugs i can eat and save myself tonnes of money and grief on the flippin trains!
don't have to dash out of work and hope to catch a train that can either be late or early dependant on whim of driver.
don't have to pass through the public urinal/subway at the train station here in the Demilitarized zone estate i work in i get to pass rolling fields and get to watch em grow and i get to make my ass thinner.

Plus cycling defines me. Out here in rural Ireland I used to be "The Yank". Then it turned into "The Mad Yank." Now it seems I'm "The Mad Yank on the Bike."
