i like not having to rely on anyone else. when my bikes are out of action i feel like ive lost my freedom, and walking is terribly slow and boring.
i hate paying for a slow boring journey when i could be out enjoying myself on my bike. if im late i can just ride faster.
i really enjoy riding after work as its a real stress reliever.
i like the fact i can eat endless amounts of food and still be rail thin.
i work in a pub so i can get pissed and still get home quickly.
i dont know about it being cheaper. it probably is, but i still spend a fair amount on my bikes, but it doesnt bother me becuase bikes are my hobby.
