Cycling is a Transportation Alternative for Countless Torontonians
Maybe it’s just me, but it certainly feels like everyone is rediscovering the joys of bike riding. On weekends, the Martin Goodman and Don Valley Trails in Toronto have never felt so full. Families, commuters and athletes of all makes seem to be on their bikes more than ever.
Part of this rediscovery involves finding new ways to use bicycles. You can use bikes on the weekend for a quick workout. You can use bikes every day to get to and from work. You can use bikes to haul groceries. The sky is truly the limit when it comes to how you can integrate a bicycle into your life.
And those who discover how to add bicycles back into their lives are already reaping the benefits. Finding the time to be more active becomes effortless once you use your bicycle instead of your car. You’ll notice that you feel better and that you needlessly feared arriving a little sweaty to your destination.
Now I have to ask; How are you rediscovering bicycles?
I’ve been riding road and cross bikes around the city for the last few years and the other day I got on a cruiser and LUVED IT. Sitting up, looking around at all the beautiful trees and buildings reminded me of the great feeling when you are in a convertible for the first time. It’s fun to sit up and look around EURO style! Give it a try.
