Get Your Green On

Another point is that many people think that riding a bike is like acting like you did when you were a small child, I forgot riding on a busy road was part of the kids routine. Is this something that is true or are the people saying it being a bit childish themselves?

I can see their point in certain ways, some of the cycling clothing does look a bit out there and those cycling shoes look simply ridiculous on some of the people that wear them.

However on the whole I think they are very wrong indeed. I do not understand how someone riding to work, whilst getting excercise and enjoying the morning air is acting at all like a small child? I think that it is safe to say that the people that think like this are either overweight, unable to ride a bike or just plain arrogant. They are the people that tend to drive to work in the morning whilst having a nice puff on a cigarette and tucking into a nice fast food morning meal. I think I would rather be riding in the cold!

Other Reasons People Associate Bikes With Children

The fact is that most people have not been on a bike since they were a very young child and it is one of the very first things they remember doing too. It is certainly one of the first things that a parent will teach their child to do other than potty training and helping them to walk and talk. Most adults do not remember the times in the nappies and one of the first memories to pop into the mind is those training wills.

Perhaps you had a fall when you were younger and have never had the guts to get on a bike again so automatically hate them, hey it happens.

The truth is that bikes are not for kids at all and they help the environment and you will start to see a lot more people on them as they are working towards saving the earth.

Get on those racing bikes and get riding!
