Hybrid Bikes Made Me Give up Driving

By Mike Allam


I used to really like driving, when I initially passed my test and got my initial automobile it was brilliant, I could lastly go anywhere I needed and do whatever I liked. I used to drive to the seaside with some mates and possess a excellent time then drive back the next day. As I have got older I now discover myself resenting having to drive anyplace, whether or not it be to the shops or to perform. I by no means go away anymore as I've a mortgage to pay instead of sponging off of my parents so I'd under no circumstances be able to afford it. It is not really just the driving that bothers me, it's the expenses of petrol, tax, insurance coverage and any maintenance function.

I decided to obtain rid of the automobile and get myself a Hybrid bikes. I do not thoughts walking nevertheless it is really a bit of a trek to function or into town from where I reside. I purchased myself one of these hybrid bikes which can be superior on the road and great off it too, meaning that I could literally take virtually any route to perform I needed. I rode to function for a couple of months and I had saved so a lot money that I was able to purchase myself some new clothes and I could afford to go away for a weekend.

The bike lasted me a truly long time, without me carrying out any upkeep perform on it at all, when it ultimately couldn't take any longer I tried all that I could to search out an additional of those fantastic hybrid bikes, but sadly following much looking I observed out it was discontinued and not possible to purchase from anyplace on the planet, so I went for the next model down.

Now this bike wasn't quite as good all round as the original bike I bought, but I thought it would last me nearly as long and it was quite a bit cheaper. To my surprise it has lasted, even longer than my first bike, I have had it 6 years now and there are no signs of damage or any repairs that need doing.

I am so glad that I dumped the car and went with a bicycle, now as I leisurely ride to work I don't feel the slightest bit of stress or frustration and I make sure I give any driver stuck behind me on the road the biggest, smuggest look I can while they try and find a suitable overtaking spot, but in the road I take to work those are few and far between.
