Alternative to Live


The bicycle.

A mode of transportation came to mind.

so its more of a solution I have come to find

One with benefits that fall in line. 

We live in a society

where everything needs to be done fast

but we forget that in this reality

nothing ever lasts.

So I must let it out my chest,

to live, we need an alternative.

I know that switching is a process

and having new car is a passionate contest

but biking helps eliminate stress,

It supports your age and health,

like a fountain of youth.

To tell you the truth 

it keeps you in shape and does not disturb your wealth.

The constant exercise, according to a Dr. named Romualdo B e l a r d i n e l l i , 

makes you a better lover

and he is the director of the  L a n c i s i  Heart Institute in Italy.

my intentions are not to boast 

but I got it from the Huffington post.

 

Moreover,

the preference of feeling the wind through your hair

should be well over having to pay a two dollar bus fare.

It also isn't okay to have people aware

that their car usage tears up the atmosphere.

And for them to not care, is a endless nightmare.

I would think the last strike, to solidify the reason why 

a bike should be used as transportation,

should be paying a car’s Insurance fees and cost of registration 

Additionally, 

Transportation does not have to mean pollution,

but it could mean a contribution.

by ignoring the laziness 

breathing could once again be bliss

Realize that bus fare and a vehicle’s payment 

could be channeled towards a new bike investment

For this choice affects all globally.

With only the opportunity,

I request you to endeavor 

in something I hold in dear fervor.

The life of a cyclist.

it allows you to save your money,

to enjoy the world you chose to preserve

and it helps you look as sweet as honey,

something you and I deserve

However, you don't have to throw your car away

to get from A to B

perhaps with a bike you'll find a way.

switching from car to bike lock key

you’ll then wouldn't have to worry about rush hour,

you’ll feel your legs increase in power,

And the best thing about being a cyclist

is the higher chance you'll have to cross everything off your bucket list.

please do not fear to join the cycle movement

trust me, I mean to be sincere,

in no time you'll notice the improvements

if this didn't get to your layered core 

just respect if not protect and do not disconnect

the bikers that are saving this world.
