Cycling: Convenience, Affordability, and Exercise
Getting Around By Cycling
Almost all city dwellers like me have various modes of transportation to get them around town. A lot of them have their own vehicle, such as a car or truck, motorbike, or scooter. Public transport such as the subway or bus are also used by many people. These are all decent ways of getting around, but cycling offers a lot of positive benefits that the others don’t, so I think that cycling is the best.
One benefit of cycling is that you can get exercise. Exercising several times a week is essential for good long term health, but most people make excuses and ways to avoid exercising. Many people will buy a gym membership and stop going. Others decide to do a sport but they cancel frequently or don’t show up. Lots of people jog but end up taking a day off. Then the next day they take another day off. Then the next day they take a third day off. The issue is that they are planning to exercise, but they have failed to make exercise part of their routine. Commuting to work by bicycle is the perfect way to incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Because there is no way you can back out of your routine. Even if you’re exhausted after working hard all day, you can’t back out of your exercise because you have to ride home. You can’t escape the exercise you have committed to.
Another reason to cycle around town is that it’s affordable. Paying for gas isn’t necessary, and that is a great benefit in today’s world In most cases you don’t have to shell out for parking either This depends on the city, but in many cities you can just lock up your bike on the street or a bike rack for free. The key to affordability is to avoid having your bike stolen, so I recommend you invest in a good bike lock.
An additional benefit of cycling is that it is flexible so you are free to do what you want. If you decide to ride along the beach instead of the street, hey you can do it. If you want to take a shortcut through a park or narrow lane, you can. You can take your bicycle with you on the sidewalk. With a car those things are impossible, as they are with public transport. Sometimes that variety and flexibility of taking whatever route you want can take some of the stress out of your daily commute.
I myself do have an automobile because I like to travel outside of the city sometimes. But when getting around the city, my bike is so much more convenient and enjoyable than all of the other transportation methods. So if you do not own a bicycle yet, then I highly recommend you get one and start to get some enjoyment out of your travelling time.
