Why ride a bicycle? Ten reasons and counting
'Nothing compares with the simple pleasure of a bike ride.'- President John F. Kennedy

Why ride a bicycle? When I asked 10 observers of the bicycle industry, they replied with inspired observations, unprintable expletives, lively endorsements of guilt-free dessert consumption and one common complaint - 'Jeez, to pare it down to just one reason is difficult.'
