The Advantages of Traveling by Bicycle

1．to travel by bicycle has many advantages.

2．Second, traveling by bicycle is good for health, because it is good exercise

3．Last but not least, bicycling is good for our environment.

The Advantages of Traveling by Bicycle

Travel by Bike There are many ways of traveling, People may

travel by plane if they want to travel far and reach their destination

in a shorter time. It is the most comfortable but expensive

people travel by train because it is a less expensive way but the

compartments are cramped and stuffy. Bus journey is a cheaper

way but it is spent on narrow, bumpy roads which are crowded with

traffic. Trips by ship may be the cheapest and most comfortable

way but it takes too much time.

I tike traveling by bike. I can set out when I like and stop when I

like. I can go wherever I like so that I can enjoy delightful spots

rarely visited by other travelers. When I feel tired, I sit down by the

bike and have a good rest. Besides, I can save much money for

tickets and much time in waiting for the train or bus. I can cover

more places by riding a bike than going on foot.

Traveling by bike is good to health. It is really a sort of good

exercise to strengthen one's muscles and to test one's will.

Moreover, it brings no pollution to the air. So it helps to clean the

atmosphere.

The Advantages of Traveling by Bicycle

Bicycle riding has many advantages. It is the least expensive

way of traveling apart from walking. If you travel by bicycle, you

don't have to buy gas as you must when you drive cars. Besides, it

develops much less mechanical troubles than a car.

bicycle riding is especially good for health. It is good exercise. If

you go to work by riding a bicycle instead of driving or taking a bus,

you can have a better chance of getting enough exercise you need

everyday. Bicycling is also good for our environment. It is less

noisy and does not pollute the air. I am glad to have ridden a bicycle

to school when I studied in the high school.

Advantages Of Traveling By ne knows that

cycling is a fun, healthy and economical means of travel around the

neighborhood; however, traveling by bicycle has added

advantages.

The Advantages of Traveling by Bicycle

Independence Cycling emancipates, offering privacy and

freedom. Get where you want, when you want, all on your own

steam.

Speed In just about every town, cycling on a Giatex folding bike

is often quicker than other forms of transportation. No car door to

unlock, no engine to start or warm up, no seatbelt to put on, no

need to stop at a gas station to fuel up, etc. When you arrive, take 10

seconds to fold the bike & place it in a bag to take inside with you.

That's door to door transportation free of the frustrating delays

you'd experience otherwise.

Bicyclists travel fast enough to feel a cooling breeze yet slow

enough to experience and enjoy the scenery (be it a city, a town, a

small village, rolling countryside or absolute wilderness).

Flexibility - Get Off The Beaten Path

Unlike travelers by motor coach, bicycle tourists can modify their

itinerary, deviating onto very small routes that would be impossible

otherwise. Change your plans on a whim (or by accident at a wrong

turn). If you're getting tired or the weather's changing, you can

always throw your bike in a bus or a taxi.

Affordability Touring by bike rather than by car means no car

rental fees, no worries about high costs of fuel, no parking fees (or

fears of your car being stolen, damaged or breaking down). The

Giatex is safe by your side. Just fold it up, bag it & take it inside

where ever you go.
