Many people associate bicycles with their childhood.
They see a bike as a toy for kids and not as a serious machine than can
be used as a wonderful form of cardiovascular exercise. If you are
hesitant about embracing cycling (biking) as a mode of transport, then
the following are 10 pertinent reasons you should set your doubts aside
and start riding a bicycle.
1. It is an environmentally friendly mode of transport.
2. You save money on fuel (Gas, Petrol, Diesel or what ever you call it
in your country) by riding a bicycle.
3. A bicycle requires comparably less maintenance.

4. Riding a bicycle is good for your health. You develop a strong
heart and muscular limbs.
5. You can weave in and out of traffic.
6. Riding a bicycle is a quicker way of getting around the city. I have
found that inside city, while driving automobiles, you can hardly go
above 35 Km/hr. And many times you are forced to move at a crawl.

7. There are no parking problems. And you do not have to pay a
toll for parking in special spots.
8. Riding a bicycle to work everyday, you do not have to set aside time
for exercise as this in itself is an exercise. Thus the time saved can
be used for other tasks.
9. The slow pace of travel helps you be receptive of the sights around
you, which you might in all probably have missed while riding an
automobile. And finally …
10. At the end of the day, you feel much better – Physically and
Mentally.
