The benefits of riding a bike
I think most of us know that the earth is slowly dying due to the amount of pollution in the atmosphere. But if you do your part in not littering things will get better over time, but I have a faster solution. Cars are clearly very pollutive so instead of driving to work or taking the bus just ride a bike! There are so many different benefits to riding a bike and that is exactly what I'm going to tell you.
First riding a bike is like one hundred times cheaper than a car because cars are thousands of dollars and then you have to pay for gas. If you have a bike you are the gas. When someone is making the car they are burning fossil fuels and polluting the earth. Also bikes are safer than cars. Say you ride a bike to work or school there will be less cars on the road and then there will be a less chance of accidents.
Finally there are many physical and mental benefits that come when riding a bike. For example the Queensland government stated, “ Riding a bike can help reduce anxiety levels”. But it doesn’t just help with stress it also helps with better sleep and boosts creativity. So if you ride your bike to work every day then your stress levels will decrease and you will be more creative, making you more productive at work every day and then you can feel good about yourself.
In conclusion, riding a bike is better than driving a car because it’s cheaper, helps the environment, makes you more productive and is safe and can cause less accidents.

I agree with you Calzone, we should be riding a bike. Burning fossil fuels is not good for the environment at all. This needs to be changed in the next few years. Do you ever ride a bike to school? Good Job on your blog! I will do my best to stop pollution.
ReplyDeleteThanks Goofy appreciate the support. About your question I haven't bike ride to school but I think that it would be a good Idea in the future.
DeleteI totally agree with the idea about riding a bike instead of a car. And the fact that it helps make you more creative will help people a lot so everyone isn't like a zombie when they show up to school or work. When did you start riding a bike.
ReplyDeleteHaha thank you Oatmeal I liked the comment the zombie part was really funny, I stated to ride a bike when I was there but didn't get the training wheels off till five or six.
DeleteI think it is a great idea to ride a bike to work or school. I didn't know that riding a bike can reduce stress and anxiety. Maybe now I will start riding my bike more often! Also biking is a great source of exercise. How much fossil fuel does one car produce per year?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment I was a little sceptical at first when I heard about the mental health benefits but then I did further research and came to a conclusion. So about your question one car can produce about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year.
Deleteit was interesting that riding a bike can reduce stress I never knew that and im happy that i know that now. How long can the average human bike for?
