I was having a conversation with someone the other day about why I cycle.  Which is an interesting question.  A long time ago there were definitely reasons why I started cycling – for a local pub charity ride, because it made a change from the gym, to keep my weight down.  Etc. Etc.  But why do I cycle now?  I’m not sure I can, or maybe I’m sure I can’t, answer that question in ways that will make sense to the non-converted.  At some point those clearly defined reasons seem to have sort of melted away.  I could give you lots of other reasons if push came to shove.  But essentially it has just become what I do, and who I am.  I’m a cyclist :).
