    When I travel by bike I feel as though I notice my surroundings quite a bit more and feel like I am actually traveling as opposed to just appearing somewhere else. It also makes me much more aware of the seasons as I tend to notice things like what wild flowers are blooming and what birds are around. In the city I am also more likely to stop and explore place I may not if I had to look for a parking spot first.
