"Urban Bicycling Is For Lazy People"

    Here in Canada, as in the United States, people tend to generally view bicycles primarily for recreation or sport. Thus, when someone asks me how I arrived somewhere and I tell them I rode my bicycle, they naturally assume that I am athletic, brave, unusual, always late, and I probably need to take a shower.

    In reality however, I arrive on time, I’m not sweaty, and I rode my bike not for a workout, but rather au contraire, I rode my bicycle because I am lazy.

    Instead of walking 15 minutes to my destination, I ride my bicycle there in 5. Yes, I ride there because I am too lazy to walk.

    I ride my bicycle past dozens of cars at rush hour because I’m too lazy to be stressed out sitting in traffic and too lazy to explain why I’m late all the time.

    "

    Stretching the use of "lazy" - but so true!

    Yeah, I'm really not a recreational cyclist. I rarely go on long rides. I use my bike as a form of urban transport. A pleasant enjoyable form, but it's just to get from A to B, really.
