It's more about having a toy that puts a smile on my dial and blows out the cobwebs. Riding a bike for me is just the coolest thing, wind, noise, acceleration and something that responds to your input and not just putting it in "D" pressing the pedal and turning a steering wheel.
Tourists are the biggest danger down here, the driving antics are shocking.
