Since its advent in the 19th century, the bicycle has remained the principal mode of transportation in many parts of the world.
With the passage of time, It has also become a part of recreation, adult fitness, commercial and security applications.
The bicycle is destined to attain greater popularity due to several reasons.
It is cost-effective.
It is energy efficient.
It is environmentally friendly.
It is an easy and cheap means of remaining mobile, fit and agile.
The bicycle is the most energy efficient means of transportation.
A man burns around 150 calories in walking a mile on the road.
A cyclist needs only 35 calories to cover the same distance.
A car consumes almost 2000 calories per person it carries.
Passenger buses and railway trains consume somewhere in between.
A study by the WorldWatch measured number of persons that cross one meter of travelling surface every hour.
It found that the bicycle has a far better performance.
It averaged 1500 as compared to 4000 by trains and a paltry 150 by automobiles.
Cycling has proved to be very good to keep one fit and healthy.
It decreases the risk of coronary heart disease.
It improves cardiovascular fitness.
It tones and strengthens muscles in the region of thighs, calves and rear end.
Physicians recommend cycling as a good exercise for patients of arthritis of the lower limb.
Cycling strengthens the immune system.
It improves mental health.
One has a better coordination among feet, hands and brain.
Among all the weight loss program, cycling is the best.
In the United States where 37% adults are obese, only 1% urban travel on a bicycle.
In Netherlands where 28% adults use bicycle, only 10% are obese.
Combining all such benefits, one can easily surmise that it enhances longevity.
In this age of global warming and depleting fuel resources, cycling is the cleanest mode of transportation.
According to one study, cycling 12 kilometers every day will save almost one tonne of greenhouse gases in a year.
Burning 1 liter of petrol everyday in running a car produces the same amount of greenhouse gases.
Cycling is refrained from getting popularity that it deserves due to market prejudice and greed.
At present, over 100 million automobiles are produced every year.
Billion of gallons of gasoline, millions of working hands, and thousands of automobile industries would have a tryst with their fate.
There must be billions of people on the Earth yearning to quicken their productivity only by acquisition of low priced bicycle.
People forget that computerization has not been able to close printing industries nor it has disheartened those who find more pleasure in reading from hard copies.
Reading has its own advantages.
Cycling has only advantages.
We have to strike a balance in our lives.
We must adopt an appropriate, sustainable and equitable living.
