A Bike for Commuting & Seeing Cities Enlarge to Accommodate

By Rob Sutter


When you're talking about cities and how they grow, it seems like trends happen for a number of reasons. Maybe a certain type of performer can be seen and others gain wind of this, allowing them to take part in similar activities so that they can direct as many eyes to them as humanly possible. It's also important to make note of the kind of spark which can create expansion. A bike for commuting or two have definitely seen this spark and the results are very much tangible.

The DC Street Blog was one that brought the importance of a bike for commuting and the city in an article. When I was younger, I always thought that there were only a couple of reasons as to why people rode bikes in such crowded areas. I was always under the impression that people either didn't have licenses or they didn't have the money to put down on a car. Little did I know that there other reasons for this that could be stated by authorities on the matter, Linus Bike included.

This story seems interesting enough but I am sure a good number of you wonder about the possible additions that could be made. Well, bike lanes for only cyclists to take advantage of seem like givens, don't they? I also think that it's important for bike-share locations to be present to allow a number of people to store them in a specific area. With an environmentally friendly feeling that exists, I think that people would be foolish not to want these in order to better the travels of cyclists.

There appears to have been a spike in sales in New York after these lanes were built. In fact, merchants claimed that there was a 50 percent increase and I believe that these instances of construction were directly responsible for them. It seems like a good number of people have decided to take on biking as a more serious form of travel thanks to how the city has grown and shifted. There's a more sustainable environment, to be certain, and I believe that motorists can actually save more money if they turn to biking more often.

To say that I am a supporter of these kinds of networks and other utilities would be an understatement. People who ride bicycles from place to place clearly deserve as much attention as those who take to cars, at least that's the way that I see it. It seems like a number of cities are taking notice of this as well, which means the cycling is going to be more heavily showcased. I also believe that it will be promoted as well, thanks to more people taking this up than ever before.
