Why We Should Commute on City Bikes

By Mike Sherman


There are numerous benefits to commuting to work on your city bike instead of choosing to go by car, bus, or train. It will help your bank account, your health, and the environment around you. Depending on the distance you are traveling, it could even take less time. It will be more fun for sure. City bikes are built to take on every obstacle on urban roads.

Commuting by bike will save you money. The only way this would hurt you is because your wallet will be heavier when riding. Gas prices these days are outrageous not to mention the total cost of maintaining a car. Nobody wants to deal with that in this economy. It costs over $5,000 per year to operate a car as compared to $120 per year for a bike. That goes without even saying how much mileage and wear you can save on your car to make it last longer.

Another advantage to commuting by bike is that it will improve your health. Not only that, but your cardio workout for the day is already done. Riding a bike reduces your chances of getting heart disease as well as lowering your stress levels. It also helps you to build muscle as well as burn calories.

Helping the environment is another advantage of riding your city bike to work. It reduces the amount of air and noise pollution that would usually come from a motor vehicle. Furthermore, there would be less need for roadwork and construction if more people were to commute by bike. Global warming would also be less of an issue due to there being less carbon dioxide in the air.

Lastly, riding your bike to work can save you time. You don't have to deal with sitting in traffic or trying to find a place to park. Riding your bike is the perfect way to get to work if you are in a city. Then you can rub it in to all your colleagues who complain about how long it takes them to get to work.
