Comments on: Here are the Top 10 Reasons Everyone Should Bike to Work this Fall https://momentummag.com/top-10-reasons-you-should-bike-to-work/ smart living by bike Wed, 11 Sep 2024 12:26:12 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Andy https://momentummag.com/top-10-reasons-you-should-bike-to-work/#comment-112531 Thu, 27 Dec 2018 04:23:36 +0000 http://momentummag.com/news/top-5-reasons-to-bike-to-work/#comment-112531 I completely agree with this list. Since I’ve been biking daily I feel less stressed, sleep better and dropped weight. And I have a lot more money in my pocket.
The only difference is that I own a folding bicycle and it fits into my life perfectly.

It has changed my life in so many ways. 8 months after I started cycling to work as a way to fit exercise into my life (because I didn’t have time for the gym) I was planning and training to cycle across Canada! It was amazing, I now can combine my love of travel with my new found love cycling.

The one thing I recommend is getting yourself a decent bike, something better than Canadian Tire might sell, it makes it way more fun!

Then last year I pimped my hybrid with an e-bike conversion kit, 47-700c tyres, plus a fat comfy saddle and I haven’t looked back since; everyday is cycle day now rain or shine. I actually get to work quicker (in term time) and I always have a ‘parking space’, just 10 feet from my desk. So, I’m saving £150+ a month on fuel/parking, and the kicker is I charge my battery at work! I do all my own maintenance (it having become something of a hobby to me) so my commuting costs are absolutely zero…if you also count the exercise as a replacement for gym membership costs (which I do) and factor in my environmental halo then I happy to concede that when all’s said and done, I’m Smuggy McSmug face as I glide into work each day and would recommend it for everyone 🙂

Move closer to work. Or work closer to home. Or don’t read articles like this, as they’re not intended for you.

These connections would be impossible in a car!

With a bike you know to within a minute or two how long your journey will take, and traffic snarl ups don’t bother you. In a car, it only takes one collision for the whole district to grind to a halt and you never know how long your journey will take.

The one about freedom is so true. Nothing beats the freedom of always having your bike around. 🙂

I put together top 6 list on my blog: http://www.outdoormaster.com/2016/03/28/6-benefits-biking-work/ I hope some of you mind find it equally interesting.

Yeah, move closer to work. Pack those people into cities and suburbs. Expand those housing developments. Pave that farmland. A ridiculous suggestion.

A 40 or 50 mile commute might be a tad unreasonable. One solution never fits every situation.
