Cycling, this is one of my hobbies and this is my favorite.
There are reasons why people use bicycles.. Some use it for fun; some for good health, and some for alternative transportation. I am using bicycle for both of the three reasons. I use it for fun and actually I practice some tricks like the bunny hop and the manual. I also use it to exercise my body. And also, for transport, cycling to school or job is the best balanced way in terms of cheapness and fastness; except for the pollution you inhale during the trip and your haggardness as you come to your destination.
There are types of bicycles according to their use.
There are three common types of bicycles which are the ff.: BMX, MTB and the RB.
BMX or the Bicycle Motocross is the one used purely for tricks. But it's up to you if you want it for travel. To be described, it is small in size, the saddle (or the seat) is set very low, and it has no transmission.
MTB or the Mountain Bike, which is my favorite, is obviously for mountains. It can travel along rough roads without it being broken easily. Most of MTBs have shock absorbers for good comfort. This type can also be used for tricks.
RB or the Road Bike is for traveling and racing. It has the best speed among the bicycle types. It has the best aerodynamics and transmission. It is tall and thin.
I like the MTB the most. It can be used for travel (even in rough times), for tricks and for racing.
My Cycling Life
I have two pals joining me in my cycling, namely Joshua and Richard. We have good cycling trips. We appreciate the benefits of owning a bicycle. Every time we think of somewhere good to go to, we do not hesitate to go unless we have something more important to do. Cycling is good but using your brain is better. We tripped trips from cities to cities. Recently, we cycled all along from Manila to Antipolo. That's about 17 km of uphill cycling! With only one stop over, we sometimes almost give up cycling the lowest gear travelling nearly speedless. And we're not the ones almost giving up! Unfortunately we have not tuned are rides up.. I didn't notice that a piece of my ride(which is the sprocket) is not functioning well. This lead to a minor accident. At the speed of about 60 kmh, my sprocket failed and made my foot go straight to the road. My foot was dragged on the rough road bruising me and pushed my legs back that the chain wheel's teeth bitten my back legs. Well that's the cause of checking your ride before the trip. Our next trip would be from Manila to Laguna and it's about 40 Km in the express way but we will be cycling more 'cause bikes are not allowed in highways.
Thanks for reading. Pictures soon. My PC has some errors uploading pics.. :)
