A dozen reasons why bicycles are the best form of transportation

I recently found a great article entitled “12 reasons to start using a bicycle for transportation.”

A functional bike like this one
can be a real work horse and a
great alternative to commuting
via automobile.

You’ll want to read the article for all 12 reasons and the explanations, but some of the reasons include:

  1. cost effective
  2. less pollution
  3. improved health
  4. improved environment
These are the obvious ones, but the web page also shows a couple new reasons that I hadn’t thought of before. For example, it explains how bicycle commuting is sometimes faster than car commuting.
If you’re a skeptic, check out the green tech, transportation web page.
