>>1488324Yeah, it's great fun. I love climbing, descending, sprinting, getting aero on flats, cornering, hopping over obstacles. The pain gives me a certain kind of pleasure, too.
Working on bikes can be fun, too. Sometimes it's really frustrating, but once you get everything to work perfectly it's immensely satisfying.
Sometimes when the wind blows in the right direction, when the right music comes on, when the the road surface is perfect, and you have enough energy to just go flat out, oh man, it's pure happiness for me. I don't think I ever experienced anything like this before cycling, aside from drugs.
All that strava, ftp, wahoo, lycra shit is pretty fucking gay tho.
