Why Do People Bike Commute?

Copied from the Atlantic.

"By Lizzy Bennett

Yesterday I polled 99 bike commuters -- friends and members of the Timbuk2 community -- to find out why they ride to work. I asked them for three reasons why they ride and pushed their responses to a word cloud. One might expect the cloud to contain words like sweaty, windblown, tired -- but look what pops. This is a happy, healthy group! One even said "euphoric." "
Yes, all of the words are positive ones.   In addition to the commuter cyclists, all the other cyclists would agree!

It's what we need more of in Burlington and why a continuous bike lanes network is necessary.
