Hello, I am Gary from the USA. I have been cycling and touring for almost 38 years. I cycle to meet people and to see everything at a slower pace! I never learned to drive, I began traveling by hitchhiking from 1977-82, took to cycling after meeting a couple from Germany who were touring the USA. I have ridden my bike about 200,000 miles so far. Live to ride, ride to live!
I had to resist terribly to hold the tears from happiness - tough guy here.
I wasn't so strong
About twenty-five years ago, I used to cycle a lot. I was never very far from my bike. Although, I have multiple sclerosis and it was getting worse. So, I thought, maybe it's best if I just hang up my pedals, so to speak. But in the past year--about a decade and a half off my bike--I developed a yearning for my bike again. I can't explain why.
I thought, what the heck, why not try. Where I live is flat, although there are hills all around. Being back on my bike has been exhilarating and much as everyone was saying--freeing! Sure, I fall every so often getting off my bike. My legs are weak once I've been riding a bit. And I may never be able to go very far. Still, to have this freedom, independence, and peace back in my life now, even just a little, is more than worth every fall I might have!! 🙂
I cycle because I love the wind in face and feel as though I’m flying sometimes.
Meeting people and exploring new areas that you cannot get to by automobiles.
And staying fit.
I cycle for physical and emotional benefits, for mindful time, for ecology, commuting to work, riding a mountain bike and a roadie, for freedom and enjoying nature.
I do it for life.
I got tear eye watching so many people expressing their reasons and feeling connected as I cycle because of freedom and connection to the world.
exactly the same
"And I cycle because I'm crazy enough to follow him" how romantic is that!![4:45]
hi im from malaysia and i cycle because its a therapy and makes me happy.i feel alive after every ride.
Joe from Philadelphia USA ...I ride because it brings me great happiness , excitement to see new people/places and makes me healthier !
I cycle to feel alive, to connect with the world around me and to feel free.
I cycle because I need a way to push myself into a place that forces me to live in the moment. Fitness health and the racing are also reasons enough to enjoy the suffering that goes along with it. It’s so beautiful!!!
Hello , I love this video it's really relaxing and making me motivated to learn riding a bike.... thank you because I feel so good right now.
Wowwww, after 6 months you shared a New video, it's great!!! Welcome back again, Bro, i don't Cycle, but it's a freedom feelings, thank you
I am 66 I always liked riding since I was a kid. For the last 20 years I have been cycling. I ride year round In Michigan about 100 miles a week. I have been diabetic for the last 30 years, I refuse to take insulin and think with out cycling I would be very ill or dead, I feel like a kid when I ride and I just love it. I ride fixed gear and brakeless its the best.
I cycle because
I learn to control my temper before I was a hard headed person but went iride my bike
I feel peace talk my self ang pray everyday
Because cycle change me make me a better person
Just finished my first short cycle tour in Iceland. I have always travelled my country by a 4x4 truck and always enjoyed camping. Seen a lot of cycle tourers here and always envied them. Got into cycling because of health issues and decided to combine my love of the outdoors and cycling. Its a whole new way of experiencing the same landscapes I whizzed by in a car and a lot more enjoyable. People also are way more open to you and up for a chat when you are on a bike rather than inside of a car.
PS. Come to Iceland for a ride. It's great here.... :)
Because I feel totally free
I rediscovered my love for cycling because I have to rush to go to Muay Thai and Jiu jitsu. Now I use it more for work with my heavy beater bike. I love the feeling of freedom and danger with my fixie and MTB.
I cycle cause its fun, the synergy of working with your bike, I like falling off my bike, i like coasting on my bike and i like the look of me on my bike i like the give and take aspect of when i'm on my bike and the lack of traffic jams and its free and slow, its just fun and wholesome to ride
I just started cycling 2 years ago and I first did it after a knee surgery to get my knee working again, but during those few months when I "needed" to cycle I fell in Love with it so much that I cycle now two years later nearly every day and did by now about 20000km on bike :)
I mainly cycle to explore whatever city I'm in. I also suffer from OCD, and cycling helps me keep my anxiety in check.
I love cycling for the feelings it gives as well. Wouldn’t be the same person without it!
i thought about this question, and the answers are not just one. but when i think of it, i have been cycling all my life, and the one reason i can truly give that has always been constant, is cycling is the only place i can find peace.
Why Do i cycle
Hi i am 21 uears old from south africa.i own 2 road bikes plus a mountain bike soon getting a gravel road..
I cycle becouse it is a childhood dream.the power of the bike the smell of the dirt in the wheels.the joy of peddling in the rain.the limitless possibilities i feel when am on my bike.the joy of pushing myself to the ultimate

I like the guy who said it simplifies the important things and you don't get distracted.
Hago viajes en bici porque me hacen sentir bien antes, durante y después, gracias por tus vídeos, desde España 🇪🇸
I cycle 'cause it's so much better than therapy!. Apart from that it's freedom, adventure, focus on the basics of life and I need it to stay fit. Ohh... and because I love it.
I don't cycle, just to the shops maybe :D but I'm glad you're back with the videos!
Myself and Angie ride to different places around the world , to have great memories of places and people we meet and the way they live...
I cycle because it is the most logical thing to do given what we have learned about the inefficiency and destruction of doing otherwise.
Hi! Simon from Italy! I travel by bike because reach places makes me feel like I belong to the place, knowing it like it's my home, and of course because bike seems to be a magnet for people and it's easier to get in contact with humans 😁
That's a great video. Very heart-touching. Thanks for sharing :)
I agree
After crossing Canada, I was trying to think why I like cycling. I was surprised to learn that it was a relatively painless trip considering. But how could it give so much joy? Here are some of my answers. We meet cool people. In our regular jobs, we get so caught up in our tasks as we get stuck on our professional track that we miss all those ‘’other’’ interesting, kind, generous people. Secondly, part of our fundamental nature is the joy of solving little problems and getting the adrenaline rush. We get that buzz from the magic of cars, computers , games, apps and entertainment. Ultimately, they are distractions. What none of them give us is our body’s opiate-receptor-hormone-hungry need to move and breath. Cycling gives us everything from the problem solving solutions in discovering new places to experiencing the adrenaline rush with the happy heart beat. Moving and breathing are our intended design. Our modern day joysticks trick the brain; cycling feeds it. Finally , from a physiological point of view, humans have evolved to go a maximum of 45 kilometres/hr in a sprint. I have driven in a Porsche 911 and have taken a Corvette for an exhilarating spin. However, they are bubbles, shells, or ships that take us to speeds that we were not meant to go. Biking takes us to the maximum speeds we were designed to go. Cycle touring puts us out into the elements and in touch with our birthplace. It is a place we have lived and worked in all but the last two hundred years. Today’s weather has become a great inconvenience…. to work. We are work. Cycling is popping the bubble so that we may once more reconnect with ourselves, others and our origins. Cycling makes us human again.
That's about as accurate as it gets! Thank you for this!
Because it makes you happy : )
Perfect🙂👌
No need a reason, just see the big smile when answering. :-)

Many of the same reasons i really like to stay in Hostels in AK and listen over days to some of the folks from other places and experiences.
I cycle, because i want to explore, for fitness, and especially to save mother earth
I cycle cause it gives me freedom ...to go at my own pace..see things at my own pace..
Porque te da una sensación de paz y de libertad,mientras estás haciendo deporte y conoces diferentes sitios.
Cycling is definitively the loveliest way to move graciously through the city

such a great video! thank you for making it. but why only put men on the thumbnail?
Uh, that's my fault! We really wanted to put women on the cover but the shots that we had were on a different size so didn't really fit on the mosaic! I did a vertical version too for Stories with both men and woman. So many awesome females out there cycling too! =)
People aren't as mean as you may think they are, men either..be at peace at relax your worrisome head
i cycle to get distracted of what a loser i'm. I'm gonna get old like this guys but with no money atall
You're not a loser, happiness comes from inside and you can change that! Money doesn't buy happiness ever!
