Maintaining

So I’ve had a bit more of a shift in how I see myself now when it comes to cycling.  For a very long time now, I’ve always seemed cycling as something separate from what I would normally do.  Even though I’ve been working hard to see myself as a cyclist, I’ve always looked at it as either good exercise or a fun thing to do.  Recently, I’ve started seeing cycling as a more integral part of my life.  I commute on my bike; I socialize on my bike.  The days of long lone rides seems to be over.  Now when I ride, I do it for a reason.  This is quite comforting to me.
