Yes, there are so many reasons I am passionate about utilizing my physical abilities to move myself around.  The bicycle -(Wheels!)-  is a vehicle that weighs less than half of what the cargo weighs,  as compared to a car, which weighs easily 10 times what the cargo weighs.   Carrying 2-3000 extra pounds around with me wherever I want to go is not how I want to spend precious energy.

Okay, okay, “it’s the infrastructure” you say.  Yes, that too.  And I recognize that we all have different abilities and situations.  But for me, the bottom line is, Using my own power to go places – it makes me feel alive!
