I ride 30km per day back and forth from home to college. I&#x27;m 43, I ride an old steel bike (ca. 20kg). I do this out of necessity, since it&#x27;s the cheapest and most convenient way to travel around the city I live [1]; but I also do it out of love for the joy it provides me. Granted that the city&#x27;s overall elevation helps a lot (it&#x27;s almost plain here, but many people still think I&#x27;m crazy for this choice of transportation).<p>As others have pointed out, weather is only a bummer when you&#x27;re not properly clothed (I&#x27;m over-generalizing here, but you get the picture). It also helps to live on a place where the average temperature never goes down below 24ºC [2]. On the down side, it rains a lot here. When I say a lot, a do mean <i>a lot</i>.<p>Bicycles <i>are</i> fun. I couldn&#x27;t imagine myself living without one.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Recife" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Recife</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.climate-data.org&#x2F;location&#x2F;5069&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.climate-data.org&#x2F;location&#x2F;5069&#x2F;</a>
