It's really a strange realization. If your health is fine.. and you don't live in smog.. biking is immensely beneficial. There's often multiple path to the same destination, shorter than main arteries, no traffic jam, no stress. I take my car twice a month and everytime I'm surprised by the effect of having to deal with all interruption and safety because we all drive 500-1000kg metallic buckets. It's quickly annoying.. that's a feeling you never have on bike. And no gas cost, near no insurance.. cheap repairs.
So true, weather is an issue (but in a way it's fun to now look at the sky to see where the clouds are going), clothing too a bit. My only problem is that weak health quickly cut your ability to move far.
- dudefeliciano 2y agoOnly argument I have is the no stress part. I find myself stressed out more often than should be when riding a bike in the city due to careless car drivers.
- agumonkey 2y agoMy bad, I should have explained that I take detours on smaller / calmer roads, whenever possible, to avoid traffic as much as possible. Depending on your country, there might be a lot of alternate paths. For normal roads you can have shorter trip, but often I choose longer travel if it's on a bike lane near a river or a forest, so I enjoy even more calm. Otherwise you're right.
