Riding a bicycle

In this post I would like to talk about a mean of transportation as simple as two tyres, a frame, two pedals, a handlebar and a seat. Exactly, this vehicle is the bicycle. As simple it doesn´t need anything else than the energy of our legs to make it move on. An essential tool in the early years for children in order to develop their basic movement skills and also a way to create healthy habits in their future. The bicycle is also a style of life for many people but, until what point is it necessary and important its use in general? Here I will give a series of reasons that will make you change your idea of the bicycle.


Healthy reasons. The practise of sport through the bicycle has all sorts of health benefits—physical and mental. It engages your legs and it is easy on your joints, it´s also an activity you can do everyday either as an physical activity or to go to work. Moreover, it helps you to prevent of different illness us as vascular diseases, cholesterol, heart problems and all kind of mental and psicologycal problems. 
 

Economical reasons. That way of transportation it has an insignificant cost comparing with other vehicles as for instance a motorbike or a car in terms of gasoil, parking fees, reparations and checkings,...




Environmental reasons. Using the bicycle every day we are contributing to the care of our environment, which means less polution, better air to breath and a cleaner living context for everyone. Concerning about the importance of the welfare and care of our Mother Earth in general and our cities in particular, this atittude would help a lot to decontaminate the space where we live.

But using the bicycle is not only taking the it and starting to use it in any way. There also are a series of behaviour rules for all those people to respect as drivers they are. And they must be especially aware about the driving rules when they ride in the walkside. And in the same way the must be careful with pedestrians, all drivers in general should be awared of how vulnerable cyclist are when they ride on the road.
