I will never forget the life changing moment that introduced me to bicycle cycling last year as I moved into my first apartment. Just moving out on my own, I was unpacking and just having a very long day. So to help out, I grabbed my little TV and hooked it up, not expecting much. I only got one channel to come in clearly, and of all the sporting events to show in the world, the Tour De France was on, and I lost all interest in finishing my unpacking that afternoon as I discovered deep down a passion for the sport of cycling I had never known before.
With the way things are going today in the markets and economy, I find it to be a comfort that I have become less reliant on my car and more independent thanks to bicycle cycling. And with the wide array of options out there on the market right now, I truly believe that this industry is only going to continue to grow as the times grow tougher. Since I work down town, riding my own little “tour de France” road bike just isn’t a viable option due to the design of the bicycle tires, so I’ve expanded my love of bicycle cycling to include the more causal and useful options for getting around the big city.
The first is the classic and well designed Schwinn bicycle that we’re all familiar with. We’ve seen them for years and years, and that’s for a reason. They’re an excellently built bike and perfect for anybody at any age looking for a very comfortable and causal design. You won’t find a smoother riding bicycle any where for the value. But don’t think that’s all they have to offer. Schwinn has been in the business for a long time and have developed some fantastic introductory hybrid road bikes and standard road bikes as well for those looking for a bit more speed in their bicycle cycling experience.
Yet, for those wanting a space saving design for easy storage at the office, you might consider the very handy bicycle folding setups that have been around for some time. These make bicycle cycling an every day event for the working class person and not just the “Lance Armstrong” wannabe like myself. And the real advantage, is the efficiency of the entire industry. Using lighter, stronger, and more durable metals to build these bikes, they’re easier and more enjoyable to ride than ever before.
