Transportation.

In the world of fitness and also in the world of keeping an absolutely good time, the bike is my number one laison to these worlds. As my former art TA, Lacey, has once told me that it is the perfect transportation method and is also the most effient. But that was Maryland a whole different world, and I am talking about somewhere that is less humid, less compact, and somewhere that 330 days of sunshine has made my shoulders look like the dark side of the moon. In New Mexico especially around Albuquerque, being a bike commuter is very common and very practical, the roads were not meant for as many cars that are on it it so the best way to bypass this is simply zip around traffic like a drunken Italian man on a scooter. Albeit it is dangerous, but that is more the general consensus now.

So living in the United States, can be hard at time
So the bicycle is one of the most versitile tools ever craft by the hands of people. The simple ingenuity has made it completely versitile to go over

Here are some tips that can help make the bike riding experience more profound.

Have fun, realize where ever you are that your body is transporting you at the speed never attainable by walking or running. That in itself is a beauty of design. Also, it allows you to discover areas of town that would normally be overlooked in the gridlock or at the stoplight. ALso remember that every bicycle on the road is one less car on the road. Which brings about less road maintainence, less pollution, more healthy people.

Its low cost. upfront cost for a bicycle can seem daunting at first especially with price ranges from free to up to ten thousand dollars. First, evaluate the needs of a bicycle and what you would be using it for (size,recreation, commuting, exercise, etc.)
Then follow-up with what is available on the market, check classified or Craigslist first because someone is trying to get rid a bike, while you are trying to find one. If there is nothing avilable for your needs resort to a local bike shop or internet. Generally the bikes put together at department stores are not put together in the right way where the maintainance costs later will curb the higher costs of the products, which are generally higher quality. Also making sure that the bike is the right fit, will guarentee that you are making the most of your legs, and not injurying yourself in the process.

Its exercise, most people complain about all of the different diets that they have been on that never work, but simply by the fact of changing the commuting pattern from driving everyday to cycling every so often will cut many calories, many tour cyclists can burn up to ten thousand calories a day, making it a great way to lose weight but also a hard way to keep it on.
Many people don't like the the bicycle due to the danger of the roads, which is true. But there is as equally chance that you would get in a car accident as a cycling cras, the only set back is that there are no seatblets or airbags.
