I always say "the city" as if the entire world knows exactly which city I am talking about-New York City. The grand city, the city of all cities. And I bet that right now you are picturing in your head the city in all of its glory. Well, I was the city the other day. But being a girl from Long Island, I can never fully get used to noise and volumes of people and taxis and buses and city bikes speeding by.
I could be on the other end of the city but I always try to find time to get to Central Park. Central Parks is perhaps my most favorite spots in the city and I love its attempt at bringing the wilderness to urban society. The only thing that I really do not like are the horses that are enslaved and made to pull heavy carriages all day long in the heat or cold. Horses do not have a place in the city. But I digress.
In this day and age there are so many modes of transportation that people can use, and none involve any animals. In the city, people have the option of taking buses, taxis, subways, trains, motorbikes, cars, and bicycles. If I lived in the city, I would definitely invest in a good city bike, like ones made by Linus, and use it to go everywhere. Not-to-mention it is free!
Around my hometown, cars are the most used transportation. I cannot help but wonder how much better off the world would be if everyone just used bicycles - the amount of pollution would reduce, people would get more exercise. I always feel great after a long bike ride so I would not mind riding everywhere.
The city is not the best place for cars so no wonder the majority of people chose to simply walk. But bicycles are always a great and efficient option to use and to avoid the crowded buses and subways.
