Bicycle Riding

I have been riding my bicycle a lot for the past several years. You discover a lot by bicycling and walking.

Walking affords one to really see their surroundings. Each time I walk in my neighborhood I see new things.

Bicycling really allows one to get to places more quickly than walking. It also allows one to see how reckless many automobile drivers are. I’ve known several people who have been hit by cars while on bikes (car drivers’ fault), including my son.

Both forms of transportation afford one more exercise. They both involve more planning and time, but the benefits far outweigh the “benefits” of driving for convenience and is healthier to our bodies, mind and planet.

We need more walkable communities, better mass transportation, and more incentives to walk and bicycle.
