What does a bicycle allow you to see?
I'm able to see more of the backroads. I can just see more because I can travel farther on a bike than I can walking.
It is only two miles for me to get home at the shortest, but often I will take longer routes of 5, 8 or even 10 miles. Cycling is my exercise. When I cycle I enjoy the scenery. I find cycling very meditative.
I ride a bike because it saves time. It's a practical decision.
When I ride, I notice a lot of people on their phones.
