Top 10 reasons to bike instead of driving
Bicycles West has a pretty good top 10 (who doesn’t like a good top 10?) on the benefits of cycling as transportation.
Although, I think their number 10 on the list “You get ultra-cool tan lines!”, is definitely a perk, their best one is “You have one less car payment and don’t pay registration or insurance fees, either!”. There are so many people around the world that would benefit by just selling one of their cars and cycling to work.
5. You find cool free stuff on the side of the road!
By observing the flotsam and jetsam along America’s streets and highways, you never know what you may find. Loose change, designer sunglasses, cool tools, $20 bills — heck, maybe an entire bag of money? Of course, you’ll have to come back to grab that awesome Naugahyde sofa with the “free” sign you spotted on someone’s lawn.
I guess I haven’t found too many things on the side of the road, but maybe I should start looking closer…
