The Green Room postings and discussion tend to be entertaining, too, plus many great stories each week. You could be writing stories about cycling or obnoxious customers in Season 9!
the total immersion in what is happening at the time and place - the smells, the sounds, the feeling. No other mode of transport does the same for me.
Oh, I agree. You can't get the same feeling in a car or bus, and can't cover as much ground by walking! I'm never even tempted to listen to music while biking (which doesn't seem very safe anyway). There's so much going on, even if it's just ground squirrels shrieking out territorial declarations every 15 seconds as you go past.
You must bike more on country roads than I do, and the country where you are is beautiful! When I ride near the office (along streets and semi-rural streets), the good smells are mostly limited to sun-baked strawberries and surprise eucalyptus. The open fields are usually too dry for aroma. One intersection on the way back to the office smells like melting tire rubber. The worst (apart from skunks and roadkill) is getting caught behind a garbage truck OR a sawdust truck (which smells much the same). :O
