Why bicycle touring? (with pictures)

Cycling is a fair sport that brings joy to everyone, regardless of age or ability.
Every year, many cycling travelers can be seen along the long highways of China. They come from different places, speak different languages, hold different beliefs, and cycle from one end of the journey to the other, pursuing their own directions. They record touching words and pictures along the way.
Modern society has well-developed transportation: airplanes, trains, and cars. Transportation is well-connected. Why cycle? Why suffer so much, enduring the sun and wind? Is it for exercise? A test of perseverance? Conversation starter? To see the scenery? To taste local delicacies?
If traveling by plane, train, or car means the goal is a point, then cycling is a line. Cycling allows you to experience more travel fun and appreciate the magnificent scenery more genuinely. It allows for a more detailed experience of the local culture.
Some see it as experiencing something, a feeling, an attitude towards life, or a pursuit of life.
Loving the feeling of being on the road is the most simple expression of every cycling traveler. Cycling on an open road that stretches endlessly. The freedom to stop and go as you please, moving towards your goal. It's not about the destination, but the scenery along the way and the mood of appreciating it. It's a way of traveling that fully integrates with nature, a truly free feeling.
Although there is hardship and fatigue, there is also immense joy and freedom. The pleasant freedom of galloping in the open, loving the feeling of being cast adrift in nature. Feeling the unrestrained cycling. Recording the most unforgettable experience of life. Learning to cherish friends, learning teamwork. Understanding the true meaning of life, we are full of infinite longing and motivation for life. Cherishing every bit of the journey. At the end of the national highway, between the snow-capped mountains, with the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed, the vast starry sky, the desert next door, and the South China Sea, everywhere are the figures of cycling enthusiasts.
Young people need to experience life. They can continuously feel and understand during cycling journeys. Only by personally experiencing hardship and pain can one truly understand happiness and joy. The experience of a difficult journey is a precious asset in life. Each experience will lead to spiritual sublimation. Learning how to face difficulties calmly and how to overcome difficulties with strong perseverance.
Cycling is the best way to achieve self-realization. You can find speed, vitality, passion, independence, cooperation, and beauty in cycling.
Just do it. A bicycle, a bag, and a happy mood. Get ready, let's go, friends.

Besides the people around me asking why I choose cycling,
Why travel such long distances?
Why such strong perseverance and firm belief?
Why such persistent pursuit?
Sometimes I also ask myself,
Is it because I enjoy cycling, like other cyclists who ride bicycles worth tens of thousands of yuan, like audio-visual enthusiasts pursuing top-of-the-line configurations?
Is it to temporarily escape the hypocrisy, flattery, intrigue, and deception of the world?
Is it to experience the hardship of loneliness and helplessness in the wilderness?
Is it to gain the comfort and joy of friends helping each other in the cold, steel, and concrete city?
Is it to experience the feeling of exerting all your strength against the wind, yet still moving like a snail?
Is it to seek the fleeting pleasure of flowing like clouds and water in the mountains and fields?
Is it to enjoy the burning pain of peeling skin after repeated sun exposure?
Is it to admire the pair of feet, white like a scalded pig's trotters, after a day's rain?
Is it to taste the potatoes or oranges, regardless of their quality or cleanliness, devoured hungrily when hungry?
Is it to hone one's mind and body through the difficulties and dangers of long-distance cycling?
Is it because of belief and dreams?
Or is it to use this method to look back at the road traveled
Look ahead at the road that stretches endlessly into the distance.
Like Qu Yuan's famous saying: "The road is long and arduous, I will search up and down"?
I don't know how to explain myself. Perhaps I can find the correct, satisfactory, and reasonable answer in the following words!

Those days cycling under the blue sky and white clouds, only knowing the breathlessness of the fresh air in the wild, collapsing on the ground when stopping, how simple and happy, completely forgetting how complicated and tiring people are, just like playful fish... We are so simple, just a simple creature between heaven and earth... Ride your own journey, feel your own sharp and refreshing feeling. Forget everything in life, only knowing that the pedals under your feet must be stepped on, and stepped on again, like a lone wolf in the Gobi Desert, hunting, and hunting again... Enjoy the most primitive and sincere impulse of life. Enjoy the simplest and most peaceful purity of life. Enjoy your life. Just so so.

That's a dream of mine, like the question mountaineers often ask: Why climb mountains? Because the mountains are there. I think cycling can keep my heart young forever. On the road, I don't think about anything, cleansing my soul. After returning, I feel very comfortable and calm.

It's simple, to understand this world. I carry my backpack alone, passing through various geographical terms in the geography book to experience the essence of life. We pass mountains, lakes, and forests. We pass deserts, people's castles, and gardens. We pass happiness, pain, a woman's warmth and tears, and the endless coldness and loneliness of life. Silent all these years.

Because we are young, we are persistent; because we have dreams, we must constantly surpass ourselves; we are a group of people who love life, a group of people who dare to explore, a group of people who persistently pursue their dreams, a group of people who are as innocent and lovely as children. This is us: Knights on bicycles!

Cycling is lonely. In lonely travels, I learned to think and reflect, found feelings and insights, appreciated the beauty of loneliness and tranquility, and more importantly, in solitary journeys, I understood life, knew myself, learned to grasp myself, and discovered the core of life and the truth of the world, producing a confidence and strength to overlook life and the world.
I love the beauty of solitude, I enjoy the pleasure of traveling alone.

The beauty of cycling can only be truly experienced by those who can truly dedicate themselves and immerse themselves in it. It is a truly affectionate beauty, a wild beauty, a return to nature.
Bicycle travel is a more simple and natural outdoor sports fashion. It is light and non-polluting; convenient, you can stop whenever you want, and you won't miss the beautiful scenery; while traveling, you can also challenge difficulties and increase your wilderness survival skills. And that feeling of merging with the earth, the wonderful enjoyment of traveling in the wind—the wind blows across your cheeks, and the beautiful scenery unfolds before your eyes. Ahead is a road full of hardships, but it is also a road full of magic and beauty, leaving an unforgettable memory in the mind of every traveler.

Falling in love with cycling is like falling in love with someone who is connected to your soul.
It can give you stability, peace, happiness, and joy.
It allows you to face and feel with a childlike heart.
Does this kind of love need a reason?
Love is love. Nothing can cure love except deeper love.
I fell in love with cycling, I fell in love with this feeling of being on the road.
That's all.
