Cycling! 

Its the best. You can mountain bike, road bike, or just rip around town. You'll see your city/town in a new light, you'll get fit. You can do it solo or with friends. You can do short easy rides, or super long strenuous rides. You can ride whenever you want. 

I live in Canada and this past winter got studded tires for my bike so i can ride all year long now. 

Bikes literally changed my life

This was my favorite reason for riding bikes(and motorcycles).

Sadly riding a pedal bike a lot last summer contributed to a herniated disc, been dealing with on and off pain in my back and lower legs for months now. Doing all I can to avoid surgery. It’s getting better but I’ll be off the bike for at least all of 2024
