On a bike, being just slightly above pedestrian and car eye level, one gets a perfect view of the goings-on in one's own town.

There's a certain amount of freedom involved in cycling: you're self-propelled and decide exactly where to go. If you see something that catches your eye to the left, you can veer off there, which isn't so easy in a car, and you can't cover as much ground walking.
Usually, the great thing about cycling is that anybody can watch it; it's very accessible.
You forget things like how accessible the city is, I bought a bike - I haven't had a bike in twenty years.
I like to move forward and notice things along the roadside that indicate where I should go.
I do not own a car, and my main form of travel to Westminster and in my constituency is by bicycle. I also take my bike on trains to meetings in other parts of the country, which enables me to see other cities and the other parts of the country.
I bike everywhere.
Riding my motorcycle around L.A. is like my own video game. But unlike many folks at the wheel, I am occupied with getting where I'm going and keeping myself safe. Most people are applying makeup, texting, and checking out the beauty in the next car.
Man, when I'm riding with the helmet on, I'm invisible. And people just deal with me as the guy on the bike... it gives you a chance to read 'em.
I've got two bikes that get me everywhere I need to go. And public transportation.
It's like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
