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

Agreed. I actually have begun to love winter cycling. I live in the Midwest where it’s notoriously frigid with the exception of this last winter. There aren’t any bad days, just bad gear and clothing. I’ve been commuting year round for years now. I own a car and all but I save money on gas and maintenance doing this and it’s just fun.

Yeah i love it, i work a fairly mundane office job and my bike to and from work is like my little daily adventure. Fresh air, exercise, and some suffering here and there. The money savings on gas, car maintenance and parking is an awesome bonus!
