I know it’s not for all of us but biking is a great way to get around. Now of course we are not going to ride machines like this bad boy in the picture but human powered vehicles are great ways to commute as well as get some exercise. We all need exercise!
If you think about the benefits of bicycles and their positive effect on the environment then you may just be persuaded to incorporate it into your daily routine. Sure not all of us can ride a bike to work. Many of us have long commutes to get to work and riding in the winter isn’t particularily something I’d recommend. But if you are going to a friends house nearby or just to the store than you may want to try taking a bicycle instead. Save money on gas and the greenhouse gases it produces. Think of how much money you spend on fuel driving in a year and how much you could save just by riding a bike 10% of that time or even just 5%. It can add up quickly.
Saving money of fuel is great but bike riding is also a great way to exercise. If you don’t like walking, running or going to the gym than maybe a bicycle is right for you. Bicycles are fairly inexpensive to buy unless you’re looking for something high performance and you don’t have to beat yourself up to ride them. Hell, if you don’t like pedaling all the time you can rest a bit and coast it. Bicycling builds strong leg muscles and gets the heart pumping. They’re a great cardio machine.
Really after all is said and done Bicycles are a smart way to travel. Good for us. Good for the environment. Saves money. Saves our health. Nuff said!
