        I can’t not be in control!

          Sure sure, bicycles are cute for a nice peaceful ride around a lake or across town, no worries. I used them regularly in Wuhan.

            I meant like the thrill of cycling v driving. The same straightaways and hills which seem so exciting on a bike just seem like more road from a car. Windows down helps a bit, but still not the same.

            Might be more subjective than I thought though.

              You’re right. Going biking in a group through a city I used to live in was wild in how much it changed my perspective on the city and made it feel fun and beautiful.

              I’m glad I left that city but I miss those rides

              Ah no that is a fair point. Cycling speed let’s you appreciate things at a different scale. It happened to me many times when living in Wuhan. Stuff that was just “blocks of buildings” on a bus suddenly became such and such shop or specific building. Happened to me in towns I lived in as a driver. Taking the bicycle to go drinking in the town center let me notice the architecture of individual building.

              It’s a different experience for sure, I find that each mode of moving around has pros and cons :)
