Why I Love Cycling
One of the first things I did when I moved to a new city was hire a bike. Why? You travel much faster than on foot and you notice so much more of your surroundings than when in a bus or a car. It's more appealing to wander down small streets if they seem interesting, as you can quickly get back to the main road.
Besides, I soon discovered plenty more benefits to cycling.
A bike means that fewer places, especially in a small city like the one where I live now, feel far away. For example, cycling to work takes me half the time that it would to walk.
Of course, there are obvious health benefits of cycling—a bit of extra movement as part of your daily routine can help you keep fit and healthy. Cycling on my way to work also makes me feel more energetic in the mornings.
While cars pollute the environment, bikes are carbon-neutral. Furthermore, thanks to being petrol-free, bikes are cheaper to run, buy and fix than cars. Even if you don 'town a car, a bike can pay for itself when compared to the price of bus tickets.
Always wear a helmet, pay attention to other traffic and don't forget your lights at night. Make sure you know the road rules, especially in a new place. Some cities are more cycle-friendly than others. Luckily, where I live now is pretty easy to ride a bike around, thanks to having lots of cycle lanes and not too many hills!
A. However, be careful when cycling.
B. I have to learn to ride safely on the right of the road.
C. Importantly, cycling also helps to reduce your carbon footprint.

E. Riding a bike also means you're not restricted by bus timetables.
F. Seeing a city by bike is ideal for settling in and learning your way around.
G. Cycling to work excellently fits for someone who wants to save their pocket money.
