My first ever picture of biking to work. Taken last year, somewhere in November.
Oh! it's work day again, are you feeling not so excited to go to work because of the heavy traffic caused by lots of public vehicles in the Philippines? Does it make your head aches? Does it make you just stay in your home and be with your pillow and bed? Why not bike to work? Here are some reasons why you should do it now.
- Fitness
Biking or cycling is a form of exercise, just like jogging and running, it could burn lots of calories and fats, it lowers blood pressure, build muscles, boosts energy, it also improves cardiovascular and aerobic fitness. It has a lot of good benefits to do with your health. No more time to exercise? Go for a bike to work.
- Fun and Happiness
Biking is so fun to do. It feels like you teleport to the past and brings back your childhood memories of biking around your place with your friends. If you are doing something fun, it would generate happiness within you. Biking every day to work can reduce stress and anxiety and it could boost self-confidence.
- Brainpower
Biking can make your brain sharp and make you smarter. It can improve overall brain performance, it can make you think fast and well. I guess it could make you a better employee too, am I right?
- Money
Biking does not require a fuel because you won't be needing your car anymore, you will be able to save a lot of money, biking to work is a fare free activity and hobby. I guess you know that already.
- Convenience
Biking could make you get to work early, it's a hassle free activity because you won't go through the hell of traffic on the road, parking won't be a problem too, the bike doesn't need a large parking space. Oh, do not forget to bring your bike lock with you.
- Freedom
You just don't know how it feels when you are on your two wheels. You will feel free, free from stress and other headaches caused by different stressors of the world. You can also go and roam around your city after work with your bike, you can stop for a coffee or dinner at your speed and pace. Sometimes, you will meet someone like you, it may be a person or a group of people with the same hobby.
Are you ready to be happy and free? Bike to work now. Tell us your experiences.
Oopps do not forget to wear safety gears. Happy biking!
