There are many reasons, but most likely because I enjoy it and it's fun. Cycling is an opportunity to know a different world. It can be dangerous, I did hurt myself many times, once even left half of my face without skin. It was painful, my face got back normal, but this was a lesson. I even got hit by cars, still no broken bones and I hope I woun't brake any.

Cycling is healthy. I don't like and I don't lift weights, I never diet, I rarely see a doctor. Cycling keeps me lean, fit, healthy, and happy. Then it is more economical. I don't have to spend money for fuel and car insurance, I can do something else with that amount. Not to mention that I don't pollute the environment. Some people do automobile trips for short distances and I don't understand why can't they simply walk, use a bicycle or public transportation.

Others asked me if I'm not afraid that I could be killed in a car accident. I also can be killed sitting in front of my computer screen when I get bitten by a deadly spider. This is not an excuse to not ride bike instead of using the car.

Cities have become slums, our lives are empty, taxes and meaningless expenses eat up our salaries, the balance of trade and debt have reached insane amounts. While I recognize that riding bicycles can't solve all these problems, I think that cycling can help people begin making healthy changes in their own lives.
