So if you are a biking skeptic like I was, here are a few
reasons why you should give it a go!
Saves YOU money –
Let’s be real here, gas prices are not getting any lower. So why waste $10 on not even a gallon of gas
to drive to the post office down the road?
Get off the couch and on your bike to ride the short distance instead of
driving your car.
Is a good alternative
if you can no longer play sports – A good friend of mine tore her ACL in
her knee when we were in high school and needless to say ,it prevents her today
from playing any of the sports she loves.
However, she can still ride her bike and engulfs herself in taking rides
because she not only enjoys the adrenaline rush but it’s all she has left.
Is a good way to see
the world around you – Feeling a little adventurous? Grab a bike and go exploring! Whether it is
in the mountains around you or through the new town you’ve just moved to. Taking a ride can sometimes lead you to the
unexpected.
Allows you bonding
time with your friends – Sometimes biking down the road gets a little
lonely. Riding with friends allows you
to spend quality time with them while being active! They are also a great
support system when you don’t think you can ride any further.
Is an AWESOME workout –
Lifting weights and running on the treadmill not your thing? Riding a bike
offers a different experience when it comes to getting in cardio exercise. One,
you create your path. A bike rider is
not stuck staring at the wall but can ride on trails, roads, off roads, back
roads—wherever you please! It is also a
great way to build muscle! Riding up
hills, even though we hate them, builds up your leg muscles and the ride in
general builds up your isometric muscles in your arms.
Therefore, lesson learned.
Now instead of hating fellow bikers on the road while I’m driving, I’m
going to be jealous that they are riding and I am stuck in a car—with no air
conditioning.
Ride On,
Colleen
