I ride for a number of reasons , one of the main reasons is the way it makes me feel. I feel freedom and maybe a bit of a connection with the horseman of yesteryear.
I'll try and explain some more with the words from a Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band song.
A little birdy sits on a fence
dreaming of days ... of bags of maise
when horses where all the rage
Now big trolley cars and automobiles have taken the place of the horse
Oh ... You can't get a meal from an automobile
That's what the bird sang to me ... twaa twaa twaa
