Why I Ride

I'm currently on my military bike course, and am also taking my civilian one as well. My initial reason for wanting to get a civilian license was that it was easy to do so because I was on my military bike course. Even if I didn't ride in Singapore, I could use it elsewhere, some time in the future. Then I thought of the convenience that it would provide in getting me from one place from another. I thought of the independence that I would have, the freedom from having to ask my dad for the car when I needed it. Then while a few of my friends and I were having dinner yesterday, one of them commented that the reason you ride will decide how safe you will be on the road. If you ride for convenience, then it's more likely that you will speed and be less careful. However, if you ride for passion, then you would take extra precaution and be more careful on the road. I rode on the public road for the first time today, and I love the feeling, it's just different from a car. I don't feel very dangerous as well. Haha. I guess I'm getting passionate about riding. :)
