Commuter Bikes: Smooth Sailing in the City

By Eric Santucci


I originally thought a long time ago that I would be able to find my first stable job with a salary right here in the familiar suburbs. The truth is though that while there are some jobs around the suburbs, there is more to be offered by jobs and internships in the heart of the big cities nearby. Naturally, I'll find that it is better to flock there for work rather than struggling to do so in suburbia. This brings up the matter of having a way to get around in the city since I'll need a way to quickly get from a job to an apartment, for example. The best way, in my opinion, is making use of a commuter bike to traverse the city for work.

I wasn't always a person who enjoyed all the pleasures that the city had to offer. But, this is rather different for me now that I've come to see all the opportunity in the city. Cities didn't always appeal to me because of the sheer size and population of them. But looking beyond that, I've realized that so many people and commute to and visit the city because of how much there is to do and how many chances there are to find work and entertainment. Now, I'm jumping on the city-commuting band wagon as well.

The last time I went to the city, I tried to enjoy myself despite my initial uncertainty. Thankfully, even as a relatively new city traveler, I was able to see how much there was to do in the city this time around. In fact, there is something to do for everyone that it's worth it for everyone to take a trip to the city regularly, even if they aren't necessarily going there for work. What made it better, as a commuter or a traveler, was being able to indulge in the simple enjoyment of biking through the city.

There is much to be gained and little to be lost from using commuter biking as a way of transitioning to the city for work or school. Not only will someone be able to avoid much of the automobile traffic with a bike, but they are able to gain the exercise benefits that car drivers cannot enjoy while getting to work.

The city is a big place with a lot of commuting workers, tourists and students seeking a quick and efficient way of navigating around. But the obvious choice for these people is to utilize the function of a commuter bike, which can have the dual function of allowing an enjoyable, brisk ride through the city on top of getting to work.
