In this age of exorbitant and ever-increasing fuel prices, cycles are very much necessary. They represent not only a way of conserving fuel and ultimately money, but also provides for a healthy body and reduces global warming. I always try to cycle to short distances and sometimes long too just for the benefit it provides. It is said that a 5% increase in cycling saves about 100 million tonnes of CO2 released.
Our travel lives now have increasingly become dependent on cars and bikes. There was a period once when we yearned for only the three basic necessities of life for every person in this world. Where has all that gone? Seems now we have a fourth basic necessity in ACs and a fifth in cars and bikes! The increase in demand of ACs has been due to hot weather conditions outside and that is because of our craze for the fifth basic necessity.Hence, I appeal to the readers to reduce the usage of cars and bikes and walk or cycle to distances coverable by those modes of transport. And try them for once, it most certainly will be fun and who knows, you could even get a new perspective on life!
