Cars and planes may disagree but a bicycle needs to be every man’s best friend. Cycling is an adventure whether you’re a three year old kid who’s got his first bicycle, or an adult who’s looking to escape the city chaos while pedaling those calories away.
It’s almost metaphorical as to how cycling has changed one’s life during pandemic. I used to wake up with the sun hitting on my face as-if it was forcing me to wake-up and start the day, but now, as I discover my joys for cycling; I instantly jump out of the cold & cozy bed before the warm sun hits me up with its morning lights.
There’s an unfathomable joy as you ride in the dawn before the city wakes up. The chaos of traffic and the speeding cars almost seems forgotten as you step on the road and pass though the surrounding of the city. The pin-dropped silence & the smell of fresh lilies with dewdrops are a beautiful sight and a bliss. There’s no doubt that this two wheel could make a person’s life and the environment a better place.
When it comes to environment, the bicycle would win the debate hands down. As you burn down last night’s calories, you slowly realize how much you‘ve been contributing to the surrounding. One less car means less commuting and less carbon released. With the bicycle, the journey is all yours – you’re the master navigator of your ride.
So, go down those roads you’ve never taken and discover the green treasures of this beautiful island while you enjoy the journey of Toastmasters!
