Commuter Bike, The New Age Of Getting To Work

By Kyle Piraino


When I get up for work every morning, I know what time I should leave because of how long it takes me to drive to work. I also have to think of the traffic that I will hit and any other extenuating circumstances that might arise. I envy those who live in the city. They have so many choices when it comes to commuting to work. Between the subways, buses, driving, or even just walking, city goers have a multitude of options they can use to get to work. If I lived in the city, my first choice would absolutely be using commuter bikes.

With the other options being subway, buses, walking, or even driving, there does not seem to be a reason why someone would choose those over a nice commute while riding a bike. Traffic has got to be one of the most annoying parts of the commute, and with a bike, it cuts all of that annoyance right out of the day, both too and from work. Add in the amount of exercise you get and it seems like a no brainer.

I personally do not even have this choice. I can't do anything but drive my car into work every day. It becomes extremely monotonous and boring to sit and creep down a major highway and get stuck at every traffic light. You can't help but start to be in a sort of daze while doing the same route every day with the most movement being moving your right foot from the gas to the break.

The commuter bike is the way of the future. It allows you to control how you get to work while exercising and still getting you to work in a timely manner. One small investment can get you years of riding the streets in a new, fun way that starts your day and gets you up and ready for work. Even on the way home, being able to stop off somewhere that you've never seen before because you spend all your commutes underground could be fulfilling in itself.

If I had the choice, riding my bike to work would absolutely be the move. The easy of travel as well the money saved on subway rides or bus passes would be enough for me to ride a bike. If I lived in the city, it would be a no brainer. Unfortunately, that is not the case. I envy those who don't need to drink coffee in the morning because their blood is already pumping from their morning exercise and commute combination.
