Riding City Bikes

By Pamela Chiacchiaro


The other day, I was in the city. I always say "the city" as if the entire globe knows exactly which city I am talking about-New York City. The grand city, the greatest city of them all at least in my opinion, although it is the only one I have even been to. I bet that right now you are imagining in your head the city in all of its glory. But being a Long Island girl, I can never really get used to the noise and volumes of people and taxis and buses and city bikes zooming 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.

There are so many modes of transportation in this day and age, especially in the city. People can take buses, taxis, subways, trains, motorcycles, automobiles, and bikes. If I lived in the city, I would most definitely invest in a good city bike and use that - 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.
