Hop On Your Bicycle And Save The Planet

The increasing amounts of traffic particularly in cities is creating a new trend. Many professionals are switching from motor vehicles to bicycles. Cycling to work appears to be the new mantra of many people and here is what Malathi A, a Bangalore based HR professional had to say about cycling.

In the times when fuel prices have soared high and stress of work at home and office have made us sloths in terms of physical activity, I think it would be nice to solve all these with one hit, have a look at our old friend - bicycle.

Cycle To Work

One of them that we could recommend for girls is a BSA Ladybird Splash 26" priced at Rs.4900, Rs.4700 after discount, uff!!! even the bicycle costs have gone north, but still saves at least Rs.700 fuel every month for my bike and also obliviates the need for visiting the gym. It actually saves time than a car, bus, bike or auto with the ease of maneuvering in the snarling traffic and also with the short cuts.

We would be drawn to the baby pink elegant sparkling look at the very first instant. It looks more strong and stylish than other models . The carriage seat is longer and comfortable. The utility box is also spacious for the daily provisions shopping around home. The stylishly designed skirt guard and chain guard with its graphical display adds to the beauty and also serves the purpose of safeguarding the rider's dress.

Wider wheel base and the height of the seat ensures easier and smoother ride. Tyres being of medium thickness can easily bear weight and also absorb the shocks of our potholes and speed brakers. The handle is ergonomically placed minimizing the strain on the spine and neck and also providing easy balance for the rider.

All in all its a worthwhile investment to make and save money and also flex the long forgotten muscles and return to shape and good health. So pedal out the wheels and set eyes rolling on road. Its feels so good looking the jealous car owners and bike riders staring at you when you overtake them at traffic signals. No traffic rules, no registration needed, no driving license, no traffic fines, no bribes, no road rages, no driving pressures, only pure pleasure of riding and exercise. So cycle to work and get the right exercise as well as save the planet. RIDE OUT YOUR PRIDE!
