Why exercise?

He who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything

Why cycle?

‘Bicycles are almost as good as guitars for meeting girls’ – Bob Weir (Grateful Dead)

‘Cycle all day and not only will you see, hear, smell, and feel the world around you but you will burn thousands of calories and be able to eat as much of whatever you want’ – Nick Pannaman
