What gives you a buzz when cycling?

[Milzy]

You get to cover a massive area in no time and see new things. In an hour I can run 7-8 miles and it's not enjoyable.

The bee in my bonnet, err, helmet ().

As Ian said, cycling gives me the buzz.

When I hit that point when it becomes effortless
Toddling along on one of my lovely bikes, not a care in the world, listening to some of my favourite tunes

Climbing hills. Particularly, climbing hills faster sitting down than yahoo racers do standing up. I'm good at hills. At least, I was, and I will be again. Right now, as the Murrcans say, not so much.

Descending off the Tumble and round the hairpins, without touching the brakes, last week.

Trying out a recumbent was fun

And riding a 25mile time trial on a trike, borrowed for the occasion, was fun too

Riding in traffic, normally my commute into night shifts, gives a buzz through having to be focussed. The flip side, a nice steady amble around Windsor Great Park, with no traffic, but seeing the wildlife. 2 very different buzzes.

Arriving back at an Audax Arrivee and realising my car is not all alone in the car park.

Hitting a pothole whilst descending on my top tube gives me a buzz in a particular area.
