I love the shape of it. Aroma of it. The way it feels to be around it. It will catch my eye from across the way; I will be powerless to resist taking in its form and perhaps allow my hand to graze its surface. The source of such beauty and harmony, it is a fountain of unspeakable happiness.
It offers me companionship when I need it, solitude when I want to be alone. It distracts me when I’m trying to focus and focuses me when I am trying not to be distracted. It inspires me to take chances, and reminds me to be patient.
It breaks me down when I’m overconfident, it builds me up when I’m insecure. It brings me pain to remind me I should become a stronger man.
I love it when it’s flawless, but I love it more when it shows signs of wear; our time together has changed us both indelibly for the better.
It is no wonder the French and Italians refer to the bicycle in the feminine form, for all these things embody what it means to be a strong woman.

NICE!!
@Xyverz
Chapeau x2.
Wow, top effort! I'm sure that has been paying off in spades.
I'm ending a self-imposed two week break this weekend, to try and give my sore hamstrings time to recover as cycling several times a week seemed to be slowing it down a lot. Not riding has been driving me bonkers.

You are assured to feel more like Superman when you do return.
@Xyverz
400km per week is a good club to be in. And tough club to stay in.
@versio
Yeah I hope. Just a nagging sore hamstring when riding, I think through taking on too much volume too quickly in the spring combined with weight lifting. Not a show stopper, but annoying as it takes your mind out of "the moment" during rides and focuses it on the small bit of soreness every time the leg bends.
