Question Where has your engine gone? What's causing the cycling craze?

Just curious really. Lots of forum members seem to have given up powered two wheeling, preffering pedal power.

It's not a recent thing for me. I've always had two wheelers. Motorized or otherwise, although i've only taken up road bikes in the last 5 years (about the same time i've had my bike licence). Perhaps the two are linked.....

nah i used to do it, used to ride to work when i lived at my old house (7 miles there, 7 miles back) but i soon got fed up of getting to work nackerd and then doing 12 hours and riding home. I push iron to the shops but thats only a vain attempt to pre-burn off the heineken im about to buy.

it easier to jump in the car, teach a lion to use a riffle and i doubt you'll see them chasing prey down, survival of the fittest, i pay my taxes
