I'm in south Florida...and it's not a bicycle-friendly place. I usually have to ride over to a quiet residential area, or drive out to bicycle paths. Car drivers really hate cyclists here. However, once a month, we have something called "Critical Mass" where huge masses of cyclists ride around Miami on a pre-determined route, to bring awareness, and encourage people to leave the car and use a bike for a change.

Cycling is so freeing... I can't get enough of it. I can ride away all my troubles... I love, love, love my bike. Do you still ride at all???

Sure do! One of my favorite things to do when I have time. My son and I go around the neighborhood a few times almost every day. We have some pretty extensive bike trails that are part of an upgrade to the local parks system that we frequent as well.

I have a hybrid as well. We take our bikes camping so I need something that will work on terrain as well as asphalt.

I was carer for my wife and also had a stressful job, I used to find the cycle to work gave me time to clear my "home" worries and then the cycle home cleared my "work" worries.

I certainly miss that feeling of whiz zing around on a bike.
