Commuting

More people should commute on bicycles.If more people would ride their bikes to work or to school,the world would be a better place.The people would be in better shape because riding for one hour burns between three hundred to five hundred calories depending how fast you are going.Commuting by bike would also ease the carbon emissions in the air.If you drive an SUV for one hour,it puts 1.7LBS of carbon into the air,multiply that by millions of cars on the road and you can figure out that it is harming our atmosphere.I am not saying get rid of your cars,they are necessary sometimes like to go to the grocery store or when it rains.Modern bikes are easy to ride because they have more gears.There is a gear for climbing hills easier and a gear to go fast on flat land.They even are putting disc brakes on them now for better stopping power.They have halogen lights and red LED blinkies for riding at night time available now.These new technologies make it easier to ride your bike on the road safely back and forth to work.
