Being a passionate rider myself, sometimes I could not answer my dad when he asks me why im so crazy to ride for long distance instead of touring on a car.
So what makes us to ride for long distances. Surely touring on bikes is not a comfortable mode. Put your thoughts on "Why you ride?" as comments to this post.
All comments will be latter consolidated as an article and published.
I feel riding bikes for long distances is not just enjoying the beauty of nature but also a way of rediscovering your inner self...
ReplyDeleteAfter a few miles of deserted highways and dry vegetation around...
all one can think of is his life,his sorrows,dreams,his acheivements...
and it longer remains a ride to the get away place you wanna reach but a ride for free your mind from all the pains and frustrations...
Some of my excuses for riding a bike are:
ReplyDeleteIts primarily because of the rush of adrenaline it gives when the wind whistles in my ears.
You get a better view of the world when you are on a bike than on a car. So you get more interaction with the sights and the sounds of the place you visit.

ReplyDeleteI know where I have to be...
I know the way,
With life in my hand I leave,
To see the world in an open way,
I control my destiny,
I control the speed,
All the cars envy me,
Since I define gravity indeed.
I leave the roads burning,
I am in par with Mother Earth,
If only people stop worrying,
to things that never occur.
