This is partially why I'm piecing out my super fancy road racing bike. Why, no matter how awkward someone looks on a bike, it makes me happy to see them riding. Why I try to nod, smirk, or if I'm really in a good mood, wave to fellow bike riders. It's why it doesn't faze me to hop on my bike an hour and a half early to ride up over a mountain to go to work. It's not just about saving gas, it's about being happy. Ride a bike to enjoy life; not to get fit, or simply get somewhere. Don't take everything so seriously and get out and ride! It makes you happy : )
Here's a guy who does not take it too seriously...
