Sport, pleasure, transport or ?

[LordGrover]

I'm a very recent convert to cycling and quite surprised how pleasurable it can be.
I see it as a viable mode of transport which may save a bit of petrol and maybe keep me a little fitter for longer.

I'm generally in it for recreation and keeping fit really. Might move into using it for some commuting but style if job and needing to pick up our son occasionally it won't be very often.

Too old for race/sport/competition. Would love to commute but don't want to arrive at school, when kids are around, in lycra.

Didn't realise lycra is compulsory!

 

[marzjennings]

I race because it's run and that as a side effect keeps me fit.

At 45 I have about another 20 years of mtb racing before I have to jack it in. We still include a +60 age group in Cat 1 for our local mtb races.

Commute daily,whatever the weather.Ride out at weekends now and then for pleasure(have to juggle around what swmbo wants to do or wants doing).Occasional sportif or charity ride.

4 of them, not just one.

Oh, and I'm no tree-hugger.

 

[Shut Up Legs]

I am. It's even better when they hug back!

 

[Gravity Aided]

I am sport/fitness/recreation/pleasure/transport. And a second generation tree hugger.

 

[IncoherentJeff]

Everything except sport/competition & other, only because as of yet I don't have the required fitness to compete!

Struggling to think what would come under other? I guess work (bicycle courier) & maybe touring but that could come under recreation, hmm.

 

[Keith Oates]

I cycle for 1 2.3. &4 the tree hugging I'll leave to the experts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[coffeejo]

Is the "tree hugger" description ironic or is it intended to take the wee wee?

 

[mjr]

Why can't I be cycling for fitness but not as sport, and sustainability but not green? So there's your first "other" vote.

 

[Sara_H]

I'm mostly a transport cyclist, though occasionally ride for leisure on family days out and even more occasionally have a little tour by bike.

2,3,4 and 6 (other - being the physical and mental freedom it gives me).
