Why Ride a Bike to Work

It is fun! Biking to work is plain fun. There is that kind of feeling of achieving something upon reaching the office on a bicycle. Unlike when you take public transport, riding a bicycle makes you feel like to have more control over your commute. Taking a bicycle to work is also less stressful, compared to riding a car. 

To fully enjoy your bike commute, it is important that your bike should be well maintained. I had my folding bike (Dahon Curve D7) tuned up at ROX in BGC, Taguig, and my mountain bike (Merida Big Nine 80) in a bike shop in Quezon City.  Whether you bring your bicycle to a high-end bike shop or somewhere in the neighborhood, what is important is that your bike is tuned and ready for the road. 

Biking is fun! Any type of bicycle will give you joy and fun.  Rediscover the joy of simply riding a bike. Try a bicycle for once and you will feel that kind of freedom you have not felt for such a long time. A bicycle is a very flexible machine. It can reach places where cars cannot go. Parking is not an issue when you use a bicycle. 

Ride a bicycle for your health and the environment. Try something new by riding a bicycle to work. Life is too short to live only within your comfort zone.  

In this time of quarantines and unpredictable policies regarding the use of public transport, the bicycle is one good alternative. A bicycle is affordable and requires less maintenance compared to motorcycles and cars. A bicycle requires less space. It can even be put on your wall. 

The government should encourage biking to work by making the streets safer for cyclists. Protected bike lanes and well-lighted roads are necessary components of a safe cycling environment. Signs reminding motorized vehicles to “share the road” with cyclists should be respected by everyone. 

Biking is fun! Do not forget to be safe on the road. Always wear a helmet. Expensive clothing apparel is not a must to enjoy biking. Just wear comfortable clothes preferably with colors that can easily be seen. Try biking commuting for once and feel something new in your life.
