I have been thinking about getting a bike for a few reasons. The first is that it is better on the environment for me to ride a bike instead of drive my car. The second is that gas prices are just silly expensive. They are going back up again, and I am tired of watching the prices. Third, riding a bike would help me get into better shape. I have been pretty sedentary lately, and it would be nice to get active again.
As I live in a pretty car-centric place I don’t think I will give up my car just yet. That is something I would eventually like to do, even if just for a little while. But that is a goal for sometime in the future. The bike comes first!
Since I can ride public transit for free, I am hoping that I can get places a lot cheaper if I pair taking the bus with my bike.
