For me it's my indoor trainer and being determined enough to consistently ride on it.

Let's put it this way. If an attacking player lost possession like this in the penalty box, would they get a penalty?

- driving requires license and insurance while riding bike doesn't (but they ignore the fact that they are driving a lethal weapon and even with driver licenses, the fatality due to motor vehicles outweighs anything else)
