Riding a bike to work is a great complement to your weight loss program. It reduces stress and can save you thousands of dollars a year in operating expenses for your car.
I love to ride bikes. One of my fondest memories was receiving a purple Royce Union “sting-ray” for Christmas one year when I was seven. I went across the street to a large park and rode all day until my dad came looking for me at dusk. I remember waking up the next day to aching legs but I was ready to do it all over again.
I fell into serious recreational riding almost thirty years ago and even raced for several years. I love bikes in general and see beauty and purpose in every bicycle. I’ve owned several very expensive bikes for both street and dirt but the one that I love the most, the one that takes me back to the joy of that long day in the park over 40 years ago, is one that my wife bought for me one Christmas. It’s a simple, single speed cruiser. I stuck a huge basket on the handle bars and use it to run every errand I can make an excuse to do. I just can help but ride around with a big smile on my face!
I’ve always been romanced by the idea of commuting on my bike to work. My career in sales required me to cover scores if not hundreds of miles each day so I was never really a workable solution for me on a consistent basis.
Two Contrasting Examples
While driving around yesterday I saw a fellow cruising home from work. His bike was clearly set up, perfectly set up, for commuting. He rode in a

Dirt Bike Catastrophe
Some four years ago on a small loop road, county road 355, hidden somewhere in the weeds was a convolution maze of dirt bike trails. It couldn’t have been but six months since my step brother, Austin and I started riding dirt bikes daily. We were nothing short of motocross eligible teenagers, jumping feet off the ground, sliding every turn, and being so dirty at the end of the day that two showers were necessary. All of these things changed very suddenly in a wreck that changed our lives.
Ever since that day, and many, many horses later, I have been passionate about horses. I began going to local fun shows, where I would show in mainly pleasure classes. It gave me a great foundation of how to ride a horse correctly. I won many awards on my pleasure horse and really enjoyed doing it, but as I got older, I began to have a need for speed. With this being said, I started entering the speed classes.
The stationary bike resembles Vladek's struggles going through his story again and gives a sense of who he is as a person. The bike is shown on many pages in the book and shows the reader when he starts the story and when he stops. If the bike does not get analyzed and was just overlooked it wouldn't give the meaning it needs to truly understand Vladek's pain. Furthermore understanding the bicycle with all the variables such as penciling, page layout, and color and realism gives an understanding of why Spiegelman incorporated it in his
This paper gave me a chance to go out and get ideas from people in my community. I wasn't to surprised with some of the feed back I got because it's actually what I expected. You can stop it, but you can find safer ways to allow them to ride safely and not on the streets. I believe there are ways to decease the amount of dirt bike and ATV riding that take place on Philadelphia street. Here are some ideas that myself and the community came up with to reduce the illegal dirt bike and ATV riding/ use on our Philadelphia streets.
I was in 4th grade going to 5th grade I was a big kid now. I could do whatever dad could do. If he could ride a four wheeler in the forest I could to. My Dad gave the ok to this idea, and my Mom, well she finally went along with a nervous look on her face.
I think people should be able to ride dirt bikes on the street because people usually only ride on the road to get to a trail, if someone gets chased by the police on the street it puts themselves and others in danger, and because dirt bikes keep up with traffic and if ridden responsibly it does not bother anyone.
One reason I think dirt bikes should be legal on the street is because people usually only ride them on the street to get to a trail. I think that if someone is only going to a trail right down the road, why should someone have to go through the trouble of loading there bike in a truck just to go down the road and struggle to find a parking space to go ride? Reasons like this is why many just ride there dirt bike on the street to
Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” Although I was not born with the best bike, I have learned to pedal through all the hardships—and that has made all the differences.
As a young child, I was shy and timid; however, participating in my high school Cross Country team for four years helped me come out of my shell and become more open and social.
In those two and a half years I started racing. My first time I ever raced I got first place and it was the best feeling ever. I was so proud of what I had accomplished and wanted to keep racing. But after I placed first in that class I got bumped up to a new class that had bigger bikes and faster kids. At the time I was still on the 100 and I was racing kids on bikes twice as big as mine.
As said by Louise J. Kaplan, “Adolescence represents an inner emotional upheaval, a struggle between the eternal human wish to cling to the past and the equally powerful wish to get on with the future”. In the story “The bicycle’’, by Jillian Horton, Hannah is going through her adolescent age which brings a lot of emotional changes in her life. Hannah was a very devoted, ignorant and hard working girl in the start of the story. When she was 15 years old she slowly changed and now wanted to be independent and didn 't like to follow the rules anymore. By the end of the story, she broke all the rules and wanted to follow her heart 's desires.
The bike is a significant representation of the relationship between Koro and Paikea and the safety that he provides her. In the movie, the first scene we are shown outside of the hospital is a scene of Koro and Paikea on the bike. This instantly shows the connection and relationship that the two share and the importance of the bike in the film. Throughout

Bike riding also benefits the environment in many way. Davis J. (year) The Pros for the Environment of Riding bikes.
Sweaty palms, a general sense of fear, and surprisingly enough, some excitement. That’s how it felt in the car on my first drive. Learning to drive is actually a crazy thing when you think about it. We are throwing teenagers, some as young as fifteen years old, into motorized vehicles and putting them on the roadways. That’s a lot of faith and trust to put into the hands of someone so young and naive.
My First Car
The first I ever had was an old model of the brand Toyota. It was color blue and was second-hand so I got it at a cheaper price. For a second-hand car, it was in a really good condition.
I was finally stepping outside my comfort zone learning to ride a bike. The most memorable time in my life was the time my dad taught me how to ride my first bike. At the age of six he taught me the basics of riding a bike. Along with rules that were set in order to help me be responsible with my bike. I learned to ride a bike without training wheels.
