Why I ride

I ride because:

1. I can get from A to B without spewing carcinogens at anyone who dares go outside
2. My money stimulates more economic growth when 1/5 does not go to oil, cars, and loans
3. My commute is my workout and my lack of any other ride home is my discipline
4. 100 years with the 24 hour din of combustion engines is enough
5. You don't know a city until you can see, hear, and smell it
6. Everyone treats one another better when there's no steel or glass between us
7. It gets blood pumping fast enough to prevent a host of diseases and make me thin quick
8. Any mistakes I make while riding may hurt but will rarely kill anybody
9. I never worry about parking
10. It is fun even at night, in rain, and in snow
