Photography & How City Bikes Tie In

By Rob Sutter


"Travel" is the word that I commonly think about when the topic of city bikes surfaces. Movement is a key aspect, to be certain, which means that you're most likely going to see a number of sights. Travel is easily one of the most revealing aspects of life because of how much one can see as they move about. Sometimes the sights are so different and multiple that people may be driven to stop and snap a photo or two or various examples on the road.

I've always believed that city bikes are some of the most personal vehicles one can have and cars simply cannot match up in that regard. You can take into consideration the element of air and how it hits you as you're breezing along one street after another. What if it's being able to touch the environment around you, thereby increasing that personal sense to higher degrees than before? These are just a number of small factors but companies such as Linus Bike can tell you about others.

You may be riding along on your bicycle but you're uncertain of which items deserve to be snapshotted. One of the many has to be landscapes, more specifically the monuments within them that people can point out as they recognize them. If I were to count off how many people go to Philadelphia in order to climb the same steps that Sylvester Stallone had done from the "Rocky" movies, I would lose count. People have a connection to that area and they want to be able to emulate something very dear to them.

With such websites as Instagram and Pinterest gaining ground in the world, there seems to have been a sudden rise in people taking pictures without any passion when it comes to actual photography. It's a hobby meant to be fun, as they will take pictures of anything from the food they eat to the grass they step upon. Snapping pictures of such things isn't something that I find particularly enjoyable. However, there are those who enjoy it and one has to respect such hobbies.

City bikes pose many benefits when it comes to physicality but who's to say that the physical benefits shouldn't be looked at just as much? You have to consider just how much exploration accounts for because I think that it can help people gain learning experiences. How many landscapes have you stepped in front of - whether a body of water, a statue, or what have you - so that a picture could be taken? Digital memories, these most certainly can become.
