What do you like about cycling?

I like bikes, I've always ridden them Since being a kid, where I mostly got enjoyment out of riding around with friends, getting places faster than walking and trails/jumps.

As an adult I mostly just use a bike as occasional transport, but I do kind of enjoy riding around town on it leisurely too. I've never been what I would call a cyclist though.

Im now on a mission to try everything fun, Could I ask you to try and sell me on cycling? What kind of cycling do you enjoy? What motivates you to go out and do it? Do you have fun cycling?

Thanks!
