Cycling to work

I don't even feel I'm wearing 'a hair shirt' because on a bicycle you thread the motorised traffic, shift to parks and canal towpaths, hop off and walk, stop where you like, unrestrained by clamps, meters, cameras and the paperwork and cash that goes with owning an automobile. I enjoy the smells and sounds and sights in a way that makes the inside of a car seem enclosing. I get many a wave and nod and chance conversations with strangers. Cycling makes me feel healthier. Because my bicycle folds I can keep it with me - so have little worry about thieves, who don't understand how it works (except in London). I live in a famous inner city area, but I find my oddity (bloke in suit on folding contraption) earns curiosity, amusement, even respect so long as I return it.
