why do you like bicycle ?

I find it extremely liberating.  I love the things I think while riding, the things that only seem to come up when on the bike.  It's a HUGE stress reliever.  I think I like the way it hurts.  I like the way I can always make it hurt more.  On the hottest summer day I can go for a ride and when I come back I won't be as hot as everyone else for the rest of the day, it does something with my body temperature I guess.  I like the risks, the calculated risks.  I like being comfortable wearing spandex, it takes a special kind of person to do so.  I get to meet interesting people, I even appreciate the few stalkers I've had, I hope I gave them a good ride trying to keep up with me.  And I think it's really cool that every single body you ride by who is also on a bike will give you a wave or a nod or a smile, like it's this universal acknowledgement.  Makes me feel special.  And the best part about riding: My Calf Muscles!  Amazing Muscles.

Because we have few safe places to ride them, and you should see how some people drive. I'd love to ride a bike to get around but I don't want to get flattened.

ok, no one has really addressed your needs here, just thiers.  long distance riding, not RACING, requiers a bike with a few things road bikes lack.  when you hear "road bike" read it as "racing bike", because thats what they are designed for.  road bikes have \nstiff frames for acceleration, light weight for the same reason, flimsy wheels, same reason, and aerodynamic riding positions, same reason.  they also have narrow saddles, and a gear range that is too high, or hard, for normal guy long distance riding.\ntouring bikes on the other hand, have a much wider range of usable gears, including a series of extra low gears for steep extended hills, higher handlebars for less back and neck and hand and wrist strain, wider saddles for better sit bone support, \nmore compliant frames for a nicer ride, more powerful brakes for stopping under load, and more durable wheels, not to mention fatter tires, which makes the ride more comfortable.  road bikes cant take fat tires or fenders, rendering them useless in the rain, gravel, dirt, ect.  fat tires protect the rims from pot holes, and general road debris.  steel is generally accepted as the ideal touring bike frame material.  people say steel is heavy, but well made steel bikes are within a quarter pound of an aluminum bike, and will survive wrecks much better.  good steel bikes last a lifetime.  aluminum lasts a decade.  long story short, a good touring bike will be a lifetime investment, wearas a road racing bike is a fragil object at best, suited for fast paced riding over smooth roads in ideal weather.  \na decent touring bike can be had for 1300, custom complete, made to measure.  if a shop tries to talk you into a road racing bike, its cause thats all they know, and all they have to sell.  \ntouring bikes arnt money makers, they last too long, and cost too much to build.  800 dollars buys you nothing, not even a bad cheap road bike.  think of it as an investment.  road bikes, if your lucky, last 10 years.  thats if you never crash... they will never carry loads well, never handle predictably under load, and are prone to mechanical failure..

I love listening to pretty much anything; I listen to music that I like and I don't stick to one genre.\n\nMusic moves my heart and soul :)

Gears on a bicycle are really only there for one reason.\n\nIt is so you can maintain your speed and/or cadence (pedals per minute) over varying terrain. Maintaining cadence is a pretty essential part of riding efficiently.\n\nSo, lets say that you are pedalling at 60 rpm on level ground and you come to a hill. The incline of the hill forces you to either increase your power to the pedals, slow your pedalling, or both.\n\nSince you want to maintain your cadence, you reduce your gear and take the reduction in speed.\n\nYou'll also likely find the most advanced designs on multigear bikes, so that is another thing to think about.

Not sure about the equality of cycling vs running.  I don't run, I only cycle. Either way you get your heart rate up and keep it there for awhile is good.

riding my bicycle,  I ride 7 miles a day around the town I live in, up and down hills. mostly in 5th gear. I like it because it makes me feel energetic. helps keep my weight down, stregthens my legs and keeps my cardio in good form. I am a pro wrestler breathing is a must. (a certain way of breathing) and riding my bike helps with that breathing process. I am 6'4 and 318 lbs I ride to keep in shape so that desease doesn't set in. diabettes runs on both sides of my family, I have to exercise.

First thin is what kind of bicycle you want or like? road , mountain, speed, bmx, etc. Then check your budget. Even though if you have plenty of money, you have to start with a nice but not expensive bike. Why? you have to adapt firt. What about that after you buy an expensive bike, you do not like it( that's an ex. ) Then after a while if you know taht this is what you wanted or you are very good at it sell it and buy a very good bike. Remember to buy a helmet too.

all depends on what you wish to do with it.\nAbout 20 years ago when i was into BMX racing , my choice of bike was the light weight "redline"

i've been an athlete my entire life and took up mtn biking in a serious way about 3-4 years ago. i absolutely love the sport--it requires strength and balance, and in my area we get to see some absolutely fantastic scenery and wildlife (sf bay area). the sport has kept me in very good shape. lastly, there is a very strong sense of community among mtn bikers which i also really enjoy. we do group rides all the time, all over the place. and if you are into gear, well that's another story!

I love the freedom, the speed, the feeling of floating when you are cruising fresh powder. I love knowledge that 'if I were to fall right now going this speed, I would definitely break my neck, so I better not f*n fall'\n\nI love hiking to the very peak of a mountain, as high as you can go, and being able to see for miles. Then, drop in and just go...

look up the question on here "why do bicycles gain stability as the speed increases?" then do a report on that, its original fun and fantastically interresting
