The Joy of Cycling

I went for the social thing, but that was in the absence of a lurve thing option

I think you'll find that's a lurve thang. You are allowed to elaborate...

I'm not sure that elaboration is wise or neccessary.......take your point about the thang thing, though

probably the nearest experience to swooping over the fields like a bird.

unless you own a flying bicycle what you are describing is called micro-lighting or hang gliding

It started as a fitness thing and after a few months the other options started taking over. In the end I went for Liberation because of the ability of biking to make me forget about everything else...home...work...whatever. I like the ability to concentrate single-mindedly on the bike, road and cadence.

I get a huge thrill from being out in the open countryside, miles away from home and utterly self-reliant and self-propelled.

Yes, like that time I was riding along this isolated country road, sheep, horses, water stream and what not, thinking, uhmm, hope google got it right, then I turn a corner: I'm in an out of town shopping centre
