I don't ride because of economy, easy to park etc, I ride because its one of the few things in this life that actually has no bullshit in it. The serenity, peace and zen i feel on a bike is not like anything else you could do in day to day life. If i am forced to commute via car, my mood and tolerance is much lower than when i am on the bike. It gives me so much joy, and if that one day kills me, don't think for a second that i regreted it.
