City Bikes or City Highways?

By Rob Sutter


Who rides city bikes any longer? Don't we have like, cars and trains and subways to take care of all our transportation needs? Don't we have motorcycles and buses and a thousand other less tiring ways to get around? There's even something out there they call segways which are like little scooters but motorized. Hell, there are even motorized scooters. So who nevertheless rides bikes? Oh wait, I do.

Who am I kidding? Bicycling is awesome. Not only do bike promote exercise and a healthy lifestyle but it's easier on the environment over cars and all those other nasty, pollution spewing modes of transportation. And when you're living your life in the city; city bikes are more necessary than you could ever comprehend.

Even out in the suburbs, city bikes are magnificent. Nowadays there are even different styles of city bikes. You can find types such as the Roadster Classic, the Roadster Sport, the Dutchi, and the Dover. Each has their own unique look and feel to them. You could pick if you want a bicycle with or without gears and even the color you want to joy ride around on.

I had a garbage little BMX bike for years. The pegs were rusted, the rims were shot; it got me nowhere, even as a kid. Finally when I got old enough, I went out shopping for city bikes and purchased myself a real one. Since then I've actually been able to cruise around at a fair and soothing speed, enjoying the weather and scenery. My BMX was only good for jumping off things and hurting myself but the roadster a bought can take me across towns and up and down the island as I wish.

Next time you make a new year's resolution to lose weight or get in shape, consider buying a bicycle to get you there. If you hate contributing to the environmental destruction of this planet with mass transportation, think about getting a bike.
