Cycling (Community Message pt. 2)

This is a community message to encourage people to exercise, brought to you by the blog admin on behalf of N.E.R.D. Incorporated.
The bicycle is one of the most important transportation tools in the world. Besides the car. And the space hopper.

My bike; my father's bike behind, it's brakes are useless

Now, every mode of transportation can be turned into a hobby. Many like driving. Many like motorcycling(Mat Rempit?) and many like... Cycling.

I'm one of them.

To make it clear, this community meassage is about getting people who don't like to exercise - example: nerds, those who are obese, etc - to exercise. And to do that, I have to present activities that are fun and not to hard to do. And I believe cycling is one of them.


Cycling really is a joy. You pedal off, feeling yourself going faster and faster. The wind blows into your face, adding into your adrenaline rush. The stunning view adds to your pleasure...

Do I sound like a bike salesman? :P Allright then, I'll get harsh.

Like all things except God, this hobby does have drawbacks. First is the learning process. Unless you're the guy from Mars who does crazy stunts in his UFO to startle us Earthlings, you will almost definitely fall a million times, all of which you will end up with severe head, hand, leg and kidney damage. Ok, maybe not the last one.


And when you grow older, it gets worse. First, your parents will feel that "it's too dangerous for our child to go further away than 15 metres without adult supervision". And when they do grant you permission, there's your annoying little brother to take care of, who always hears your instructions wrongly, almost gets hit by traffic every time and causes you to almost have a hard attack -and make you want to scream to your parents "THERE'S NO WAY I CAN TAKE CARE OF HIM!!!"

Not to mention the fact that he can't travel far, so your permission to go further is useless anyway.

But you know what? I don't care.
