Some people ride their bikes for fun, others in a race

Others, so that they can lose their friend around their waist

Many people own bicycles, all around the nation

But rarely are they used, for public transportation

Using bikes to commute, is something you must try

So sit back and relax, as I tell you why

 

Biking is good for you - science is my witness

It increases stamina and cardiovascular fitness

It strengthens and tones your muscles, which makes you look good

And burns calories, as exercise should

 

By using bikes to get around, you are benefited another way

You are saving yourself more money, with every passing day

Gas prices will hardly affect you, paid parking - there's no such thing

Unlike cars, the price is very low, when it comes to repairing

 

It is commonly known that cars cause pollution

Using bikes instead, is a great solution

By biking you will not release, carbon monoxide gas

A poison that can kill you, surprisingly fast

 

Why bike for transportation? Here is why you should -

It can make you happy, it can make you feel good

When exercising, hormones called endorphins are released from your brain

These chemicals provide exhilaration, and reduce stress and pain

 

Some say that they don't have time, biking has too slow of a pace

But during traffic  this is not the case - slow and steady wins the race

The government has made it easy, they have helped us lots

By giving us bike lanes for roads, and bike racks as parking spots

 

Using bikes for transportation is very logical, it makes perfect sense

When there are so many benefits, it should be common sense

This is something you must try, something you should do

It's not that hard, if I can do it - you can do it too!
