real motivation for (male) cyclists

Coming home from a cosy evening ride, some thoughts about the cyclists motivation.
Some say its cheaper, some say it makes fun but I think there are other arguments.
Its damned fast and anarchic - look at alleycat racing videos - try that with a numberplate in the city.
Its very sexy - a lot of flirting with ladies near you - much nearer than with cars.
Have a nice ride and keep easy going - it's only the freedom doing so - it's not a must.
