HELL YES!!!!
I just started riding about 2 months ago and I can't get enough. It is one of the greatest feelings of freedom there is. As long as you ride safe its great.

We find it alot like diving. You are in your own little world, reacting to your environment, what and how you respond has a direct impact on you.
Wish we had started sooner.

It's better than I thought it would be. Some things you just can't imagine until you've experienced them. Just don't get too bold! Riding is no fun when it turns terrifying.
Sometimes when I can't ride I physically feel tense and almost frustrated.
It's great, you'll love it.

When I'm in the car, I just go from "point A" to "Point B". The shortest distance between the two is the route I take. I do not enjoy the trip, nor do I loathe it. It's just transportation.
On the bike, if there even is a destination, I go out of my way to find the
longest way to get there. But there doesn't even need to be a destination. I ride just for the joy of riding. Sometimes I even try to get lost, so I can ride my way back to familiar territory. I ride because I love to ride. I don't care if it's cold, hot, raining, snowing (as long as it's not sticking on the road
) I simply love to ride.
I guess that was the long way to answer your question.

What he said. Riding from point A to B in a bike is more fun than doing it in a car, but it's real nice to just wander on your bike, sometimes.
