Why Do We Ride Bikes?

Setting and Achieving New Goals

If you have a new purpose or goal in mind, cycling can help make it tangible and achievable. Whether it’s improving your speed, tackling longer distances, or simply enjoying more scenic routes, setting specific objectives transforms your rides into a fulfilling journey. The key is to define clear, realistic goals and break them into smaller, actionable steps.

Cycling not only supports these goals but also adds a sense of accomplishment and progress to every ride. By aligning your rides with your aspirations, you can turn each pedal stroke into a step closer to achieving what matters most to you.

Why do we ride bikes? It’s a question with countless answers, but after riding various bikes for many years, my simple reason is this: because it’s fun.

From childhood to now, bikes have always been a source of joy for me. There’s the thrill of riding fast, the adventure of exploring new places, and even the satisfaction of commuting to work on two wheels. Each type of ride brings its own kind of fun.

There’s also a deeper sense of purpose and accomplishment. Setting goals—whether it’s to ride faster, climb higher, or simply enjoy the process—makes cycling even more rewarding. The pursuit of these goals feels primal, connecting me to a sense of pure, instinctive joy.

Cycling isn’t just a sport or a mode of transportation; it’s a way to create meaningful experiences. And at the heart of it all is the simple, undeniable truth: riding a bike is fun.
