A while back, a man in his 70s looked at my bike skeptically.

"Why do your ride it?"

When I said "saves money," "doesn't pollute," he scoffed. But he agreed when he said it was good for my health.

I forgot to tell him real reason: Joy.

Day in, day out, my bike makes me happy.

@straphanger Whether I'm riding to work, running the dogs, or just for fun... I'm sad for anyone who doesn't experience joy at riding a bike. <3
