There is a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in...
Ten reasons why bicycles are better than cars in the urban context.
Okay, so these are some of the reasons why I prefer a bicycle to a car when in the city.
- Bicycles don’t cause cancer and other lung diseases. Cars do.
- Bicycles can get out of the way of emergency vehicles far more easily than cars.
- Bicycles make less noise. Cars are responsible for a significant percentage of noise pollution.
- Bicycles cost far less. Even custom jobs are affordable compared to a car.
- Riding a bicycle improves your health. Driving a car makes it worse.
- People kill each other every day with cars. Bicycles are not involved in nearly as many fatalities.
- Bicycles consume far less fossil fuels and energy. Transportation consumes a large quantity of fossil fuels.
- Bicycle maintenance is far easier than maintaining a car.
- You don’t need a license or be a minimum age to ride a bicycle.
- Parking is free and easy.
- I look sexy in my tight biking clothes. Okay, this one’s a bit subjective, which is why I put it as number 11. But damn, I look good.
