How City Bikes Can Solve Getting Around The Town

By Greg Diener


For people who live here in New York City it can be really hard to get to where you need to go. It is almost impossible to own a car in the city and most of the time traffic can usually be jammed. Now the question for some of these people is what exactly they can do, in order to help fix their predicament? The answer can be something as simple as two wheeled city bikes.

Bicycles provide a tremendous advantage as opposed to riding in a vehicle. First of all a bicycle is much more environmentally friendly when compared to a car since it reduces the amount of carbon emissions that hurt the earth's atmosphere. In addition to that, they can give more benefits if you are attempting to try and live a healthy lifestyle.

Being on a bicycle can tend to reduce tons of stress on the body. Instead of being stuck in traffic and having to worry about being late on the job, bicycles can help you sidestep getting around the jams in the city. This will enable you to reach your job on-time early and efficiently. Also, if you ride the same amount of miles on a bicycle as opposed to a car each day (30) you will lose at least twenty pounds a year from all the calories you burn on the bike.

The benefits of bike riding are now being highlighted in big cities across the country. New York City is offering classes called "Learn To Ride" which provide individuals with how to ride city bikes. They teach people how to ride a bicycle safely along with how to balance themselves when riding the bike. These classes are free of charge, so anybody can use them. Right after you start taking classes, it is best to purchase you very own bike if you still have not gotten one yet.

It would be great if in the next several years we saw lots of Americans start riding bikes around the many cities in this country. Bicycles can provide a positive change in your daily activities and gives you the opportunity to move around the big city in a quick portion of time. Without the worry of running into traffic with your new bicycle, you will be on the avenue to enjoying a nicer way of living riding on two wheels.
