The Nature Which City Bicycle Riding to Work Possesses

By Rob Sutter


Let's be honest: the general public would not even think about city bicycle riding from home to work. There are many reasons for it, some of them revolving around the idea that it's simply too much of a trek to be feasible. However, there is a focus on better health that is accompanied by this. In New Orleans, this idea is going to be highlighted by the event referred to as Bike to Work Day, which is going to be entering its second year.

An article posted on the Advocate talked about this method to better utilize the city bicycle riding. The reason for this is because the city is seeing a number of lanes for cyclists to use exclusively and this is able to familiarize them with said paths. If you need a good idea of how much the prevalence of roads grew, consider that there were 11 miles before Hurricane Katrina and it is currently at 50 miles. It's the sort of finding that should grab the attention of names like Linus Bike.

You may be curious as to what kind of requirements have to be offered but you don't have to concern yourself too much with the matter. Essentially, all that is truly needed on the matter is a bicycle and you will be eligible. The day starts off rather early at seven and that's when people will unite thanks to the use of convoys. After that, people head to Central Business District and people can go about their days. Celebrations and snacks will be had after it's all said and done.

It's easy to assume that there are going to be a great number of participants this year. The article talked about the day last year, stating that over 500 people signed up and that it's expected that more will sign up this year. I would like to see it happen because if this group is able to enlist even more people, who's to say that such an epidemic won't spread to other areas of the world? I know that there are some which are working to create lanes as well but this may hasten the process, if only a minute amount.

I like to think that Bike to Work Day is one of the better ideas that has come about and there are reasons for it as well. Think about how much it would help if New Orleans wasn't the only area that put this into implementation on a yearly basis. City bicycle riding seems to be one of the finer hobbies to take on but I feel like it can be more than that. To me, it could be a type of exercise that just about anyone in the world can put time into.
