I bought a mountain bike two weeks ago so I could exercise when I got back home from work. Walking/jogging for me is too boring and I get a better sweat when I cycle. I use my bicycle for short distance errands also. Heck if I could pedal to work I would but its just too far (1 hour by car).

I took a ride one day to get something by a food vendor. He began asking me about my bike. I told him its easier to hop on my bike plus I get the exercise. He saw it as a good idea and told me since he got his licence he stopped riding and even stopped exercising. He saw the advantages of the bike and told me he would invest in one. I realized that some people have gotten so caught up in the fast life they just forget they can use a bike to run short distance errands. Some people I personally think have just gotten lazy. I think it will catch on though. My younger brother uses his bike to get around campus and since he rents is an easy and cheap mode of transport to and from the grocery store, fastfood outlet or campus gym/grounds.

Since I got my bike and started riding again there have been many innovations. There is even an app that uses your phone to tell you your speed, heart rate etc. You just have to buy and install the sensor kit.
The main reason I bought my bike was because I saw it as an investment in my health.

Oh and if you will be on the road CEans get a helmet, for 2 main reasons:

1. Motorist identify you as a cyclist
2. God forbid you get in an accident and need to claim for injuries once you had your helmet on you will be at an advantage.

N.B. Be sure you have front and rear reflectors/lights.

I cycle nearly for 3 hours a week And I think that itself helps me a lot in many ways I have a speedy walk that can't be equated But overall I enjoy walking and cycling over any other mode of transport

Avoiding cycling I am sure you are preparing to do some rigid Cardio exercise in GYMS

It was back in 6th standard when i graduated from bicycles to motorbikes. and since then i haven't touched a bicycle, even once. !

i don't care about exercises, and as for travelling, i rely solely on my hero honda

I regret having bought a scooter. Although it's the easiest form of commute and I can't really adjust to work timings without one (have to travel 35 minutes on a scooter at 50km/hr), I've put on weight because of my Work-Eat-Drive-Sleep routine and it's making me lazy like hell!

I've an old bicycle at home which I did not bring to the current place where I'm staying (3 hours away). However, when I tried using my cousin's bike after a long gap and affinity towards the Dio scooter, the bike now feels so small and uncomfortable! Overall I miss bicycling and badminton!
