'cause its Fun
Heck yes ! Cycling is fun!
Remember some of your favorite cycling rides? Maybe it was when you were and kid and rode to your friends house? The feeling of independence, freedom and using your own power was overwhelming. And after riding up your friends driveway, dropping your bike, then looking back for a second to relish your accomplishment, was a feeling that words cannot capture. Please submit your story on why cycling is fun.
Cycling Stories from other members:
"I remember ruling-the-world on a baby blue Huffy bmx bike back in the days. White mag wheels slicing thru the wind making that helicopter blade sound. Unstoppable I was. I swear I rode the earth three times over on that bike. Took it everywhere, everyday, everytime. Remember those days? Just a few friends, no where to go, nothing else to do but ride. Still makes me smile. So for me, Ycycle? It's a great reminder of how much I love just being outside, breathing in and out, and taking it all in. Life is good."

"Why is cycling fun for me? ‘cause it gives an overall good feeling that is built upon knowing every time I ride my bicycle I am gaining fitness and not using any fossil fuels. I love to ride bicycles; it clears my head, gives me a challenge and transports me from here to there and back. And an added bonus is the rush of going fast and the satisfaction of finishing a good ride amongst friends. Basically, it's pure fun!"

"Cycling is more than a passion for me, it's my last defense against the stressors of a demanding world. Pedaling is meditation, with each stroke a quickly uttered mantra. The wheels turn, the world turns, and I'm caught up not in whether I've accomplished enough at work or at home, but where the next turn will lead. It's enjoyment, in it's simplest form. You are in control of how far you go, how fast you go, and unless there are stop or no trespassing signs on the trail, no one can dictate anything to you.. Sure, there can be some pain when you fail to keep the rubber side down, or try a steep ascent for the first time, or go further than you've ever gone before. But the joy of reaching that goal is something beyond explanation; be it a point of interest, a beautiful vista, or just the welcome site of the trail head as you return from a long ride, a cold beverage waiting, and your favorite haunt serving up some well-earned food. Ycycle? 'Cause it's more than fun, it's addictive. Go get some wheels and find out for yourself. Go on, I dare you..."
