This is exactly how I feel, though I am a guy. Are guys generally just riding around fast trying to get from point A to point B? Is this something that women haven’t been able to enjoy as freely 30 (or less) years ago?

My bike time is all my own. I can organize my thoughts (sometimes on the way to meetings) while experiencing the sights, sounds and fragrances of the world outside. It always leaves me feeling energized and focused.

Two bikes for the price of one, all you need is a bit of initiative, and some willingness to get your hands dirty.
