Bicycles for Summer Fun

Ride a bike all summer... have some fun!
Summer days are bicycle heaven. Rather than walk, or spend money on gas, why not ride a bike? Summer is the perfect time to save money, get fit, and have fun on your bicycle.
When the economy is bad, a good old fashioned bicycle will get you around town. So why pay a high price for gas? You can use the exercise - admit it! Get that bicycle out of the garage and shed and start riding again. You'll find it is still lots of fun.
On a bicycle you can feel the wind in your face, say hello to your neighbors, and enjoy the sunshine. You can also get great exercise and develop the body you've been wishing for, while having fun at the same time. As the economy worsens, as the traffic tickets increase in price just as you cannot afford much more, you'll find that returning to a more simplistic lifestyle using a bicycle is a refreshing break from the excesses of civilization.
Bicycle Riding in a Small Town
Do you think gas companies will ever lower the price if everyone is still willing to pay the higher cost?
I live in a small town, and for that, I feel lucky. I could walk to work in thirty minutes, or save half that time by riding a bicycle - something that at one time I never thought I could do again.
Guess what? It wasn't all that hard to get started riding a bike again! I love my bicycle.

Two years ago thought to switch; last Christmas a big car repair bill came in; now we only have one family car and I ride fast touring bike. It's great and I've probably never been fitter.

This is the perfect time of year to bike in Florida. Summer is too hot and humid tho. Some people do it but when sweat doesn't evaporate you have to be very careful.

My bicycle has been my main means of transportation for the past twelve years. For someone like me who lives in a crowded suburb of Tokyo, a bicycle is not only cheaper, it's a great way to avoid traffic and parking headaches.

I already cycle, and have done to various degrees throughout my life. But I can't do without a car for longer journeys. Currently I use my bike mainly for trips into the village, 4 miles away. Everywhere else is just too far, unless I have time to devote a whole day to trip into town. During winter I have the opposite problem to Gandree; its just too cold to cycle.

I don't even own a car. So no, I'm not going to switch :)

Repairing Your Bike
Sooner or later you're probably going to need bike repairs or a tune-up. You can seek out your neighborhood's best bike gear-head and ask for help, or take it to a local bicycle store with repair facilities.
Alternatively, you could learn to do it yourself. There are lots of internet resources to teach people to work on their own bicycles.

- This is a great lens. When I lived in the big city I went five years without a car, riding my bike to work, shopping, everywhere. I had a great body - LOL. Now I live way out in the country, but I do plan on getting a bike for use around here and also for taking with us when we travel.
