What do you love most about cycling?

how about the fact that it takes less time to get about town (London) and it is easier to find a parking space!

It's not just about the size of your cog.

Well, perhaps actually not the lycra... if I could find a way to cycle in normal clothes without the downsides, I would.

Smile Maybe it's just the manic grin on my face all the time I'm on the bike - must scare the other poor sods in their tin boxes rigid! Smile

Lycra's god-awful stuff; hate the look, hate the wearers. In the summer, I tend to cycle in a suit jacket and denim jeans from Marks. I don't understand why people wear Lycra; it's of very little advantage usually. I cycle because I need to, plus it's extremely flexible unlike public transport. It's great fun, too -- except when it's -2º like it was this morning; though that is what merino's for.

I'd love to try a fast 100 miler in jeans and suit jacket!
