Choosing The Bicycle As A Form Of Transport

Firstly, there are too many life-threatening accidents occurring on the road. Vehicles have the upper hand to cyclists, putting their life in danger. Already this year, 37 cyclists in New South Wales have died due to being struck by cars, trucks, etc. and this number is expected to rise throughout the year. With all of these injuries developing, the public health system is affected, with tax becoming higher and more resources needing to be used in hospitals.

One of the first and the largest benefits of dirt bike riding is physical exercise. The amount of calories burned in a race is way more than if I went to the gym and played basketball. My arms get worked out by holding on the handlebars, maneuvering the motorcycle, and absorbing the shock of going over obstacles. My core will be working to balance the bike and keeping me upright. Lastly, my legs have to be strong to hold me

Every single day I have to ride my bicycle throughout the city of Miami. The perks I would say is that it is safer for the environment by causing less pollution in the air and I get a good cardio workout every day. The negative outcome of not having a car however is that I almost get hit or what feels like killed every other hour on the street. But how the person perceives this situation is really what is at hand. I take the time every once in a while and stop near a park or by a lake and just admire nature in its vast beauty and how truly wonderful it is to be alive, most people do not see how much of a blessing it is to just wake up every single day and being healthy. Having to worry about the weather is another issue that I have to be constantly worrying about, but thankfully at the end of the day it is just a little rain, unless it is a tremendous storm which dramatically increases my chance of being killed while riding my bike.

Owning a car can be a burden on an owner; they are very expensive to purchase, and require additional money for insurance, gas, and maintenance for the vehicle. Furthermore, encouraging people to bike and walk to nearby destinations rather than drive there could help resolve America’s obesity epidemic. In What Is the Total Cost of Owning a Car, the author provides information relating to various, auxiliary car expenses that can add up to appalling amounts. She says, “For an average vehicle that’s driven 15,000 miles a year, all costs of ownership added up to $8,698 a year, according to AAA’s 2015 Your Driving Costs study. That’s about $725 a month” (Lee). This means that it costs drivers a yearly average of nearly $9,000 to own and operate a car, let alone purchase one. By restricting the use of cars, people could save these expenses and put that money towards travelling, a new home, or other luxuries. On top of expenses, driving cars promotes unhealthy habits and contributes to problems for overweight Americans. In Mapping the Link Between Obesity and Car Driving, the author describes the correlation between cars and obesity, and how bikes can help resolve the crisis. She writes, “It stands to reason that the less you bike or walk, the more you drive. And the more you drive, the less exercise you get from the aforementioned activities” (Schwartz). The author also provides maps that illustrate links between areas with high percentages of obese adults and high percentages of people who drive to work. These two pieces of evidence demonstrate how slowly incorporating bikes instead of cars (for short trips) into a person’s life can have incredible health benefits. By restricting cars, people would be encouraged to utilize these alternate, healthy forms of transportation and ultimately enhance their lives. Notwithstanding, some people feel banning cars would make long distance

Having a bicycle-friendly system can also benefit the city by bringing in more taxpayer money from annual fees to use the trail. The city would have the option to charge for the use of the trail which can lead in covering the cost of paying, maintaining, and improving the trail. It could also bring a source of extra income for the city to be able to use for other needs within the city. To be able to gain these benefits there is one solution I can think of that the city can do.

Re-reading the post that I shared, the one that came in from Detroit via The Guardian,” Pimp My Bike,” I thought about the city of Baton Rouge. In the article from Detroit the author pointed out the diversified group of participants at the rides that they put on, and how much fun was had by all. In my travels around Baton Rouge I, have noted the diversity of the cycling community in our fair city. Of those who use a bike daily, I have noted that there are those who obviously have little choice but to use a bike or walk for transportation. There are those who use a bike in conjunction with public transit to get around. There are also those who choose to ride a bike for transportation because it is

Commuting in Toronto includes TTC, cars and bicycles; however, in recent years a new alternative for transportation known as the Kick Scooter has become a very favorable choice when people think of an efficient way to move around the city. Currently, for most Torontians, the TTC and bikes are the fastest and most efficient ways to commute in Toronto and according to a 2014 ranking, the TTC was considered one the most successful systems of transportation compared with other cities (Flack, 2014). In addition, bikes are mostly considered “healthy, convenient, cost-effective, and fun” (Start Cycling) but although the TTC and bicycles provide a good service, many people over time have obtained better results from alternative transportation, especially

3. According to the Grist, an article titled “how bicycling will save the economy (if we let it). Elly Blue says that ditching your car for a bike not only saves you thousands of dollars every year, it boosts local businesses. She says, "It's amazing how much money can stay in your community when it isn't being pumped into the gas tank, big insurance, and the auto market," So basically the less money you spend on your car contributes to the small businesses and restaurants that are thriving in your community that boost the economy.

To start off, a bike requires more balance. Bikes have two wheels so it’s much harder to stay up. When you first learn to ride a bike without training wheels, you have to learn how to stay up on it first. Once you start to gain balance and are able to stay up, then you able to ride your bike. Another thing is that it’s easier to get hurt. A bike doesn’t have outside protection so if you fall or have an encounter with a car, you would get majorly hurt. Unlike a bike, a car had four tires rather than two. So it’s easier for a car to stay up since there’s tires evenly supporting it. It’s one less thing to worry about when riding a bike than it is to drive a car because there’s not the first step in trying to learn how to balance when driving a car.
