I've started bicycling to work now that the weather is warm.

The thing is, I don't do it to "save the environment", nor do I do it to improve my city's traffic. I'm not worried about reducing my carbon output, either. Instead, I do it because it's cheaper than paying for parking, because I enjoy it most days, and because I can pretend it's exercise.

Please, please, don't call this a virtue.
