There are differing degrees of being enamored. There are those who have trained hard and suffered enough to consider themselves more worthy than most to ride their bicycles. Oh, I declare. There is sometimes an air of cultural elitism and bicycle correctness among cyclists. On the other hand, many indifferent riders that don't see riding a bicycle as a skill requiring practice, road savvy and a fitness base, do little to flatter the bicycle culture.
Cycling is a physical and mentally challenging activity that requires work.
It only gets better as experience develops and ability and equipment improve. So if you're about instant gratification, you probably shouldn't bother. Uh-oh, that sounded pretty elitist, didn't it. What makes bicycling a diverse culture is the variety of bicycles available. The design of the bicycle will determine when, where and how it can be ridden.
