The road is full of color and shades, the scent of the season and the beautiful nature make you smile as you peddle on. The sound from the asphalt travels through the air and you look with excitement through your sunglasses as you near your destination. Cycling has inspired me a lot in life, most of which I believe that biking increases your sense of freedom and independence. The effect of biking in our surroundings is tremendous. By encouraging biking we are reducing our impact on the environment and protecting the beautiful places we work and live in everyday.
In our modern society, politicians are forcing different bike share programs and investing in bicycle infrastructure and facilities in cities and metro areas. The idea of a bike share program increases the interest of many people in big cities around the world. Not only is it great exercise and fantastic for your health, but it’s also an investment for the future of our planet. You don´t have to be a scientist to understand that biking prevents pollution and reduces waste. It is a great alternative form of transportation as you have bicycle lanes and at the end good parking facilities. Usually goes public transportation hand in hand with bicycle traffic, so good parking facilities at transport hubs encourage you to use your own bike, because your bike ride will help to reduce the impact on the environment and lead to a more sustainable life.
In a historic perspective, Horace Dobbins built the first bicycle superhighway from Pasadena to Los Angeles in 1897, when bicycling having a great time of prosperity. A few years later Horace become the Mayor of Pasadena. The bike share program started in Amsterdam as an anarchist project in the 1960´s, you just help yourself with a white second-hand painted bike and then leave it later for someone else to pick up. Today China has the largest bike share program in the world. It´s not necessary to own a new safe bike that functions to perfection in a big city. To participate in a bike share program is easy and a great value for money if you do not have your own bike, or cannot afford to by one.
To improving our cycling culture is to take action in your own community and encourage others to get involved with the development of a more relaxed bicycle atmosphere. Many cyclist are eager for security and adopt helmet for a safer ride. Let´s hope for more well designed network of bicycle superhighways and traffic cameras in bicycle lanes during rush hour, so a wider audience can follow the traffic in their smartphone for to know what path to take for the best journey. Your ride should give delight and pleasure, because cycling is more than transportation, it´s poetry.
To expanding bicycle lanes and tracks will bring more people back to cycling. Our community is founded on the principal of education and promoting action that last for a very long time. This way we have the privilege of falling in love with the place we live in and enjoy the time we spend there. Biking is providing us with a brighter future and celebrating a green way to get around cities.
