Cyclist

There is a saying that:"Life is just like you riding a bicycle, you have to move forward to maintain the balance."

By the way, I am one of the cyclists who travel north to south every day from Quezon City to Malate Manila with about 23 kilometers to get to work. It is not easy to be a cyclist.

I really don't want to travel by bicycle because I really have no interest in that, Also one of my reasons why I do not want to ride with bicycle because my eldest brother died of bicycle accident because he was driving while he drunk.

Besides, even though a motorcycle , I have no interest too. My siblings want to give me a motorbike because they already have it and I just don't have it. Because if I want to buy my own motorcycle, I can have it even before before. I just want to commute on the LRT even if sometimes you can't breathe because it's too crowded but at least my trip is safe.

It all started with this pandemic, COVID - 19. Many people suffer and are afraid of this infectious disease. There was also a almost 3 month lockdown, so Jeeps, buses and LRT or MRT was temporarily stop their trips. So bikes, scooters and motorcycles used to be sold because that was the only way to get into their respective jobs. Even I did the same. I also bought my own bike that even though I don't want in my mind I have no choice. My partner and I might go hungry if I couldn't get into my job.

All transportation was suspended, so every morning I leave around 4:30 am so that I can get to my work a little early, maybe around 5:40 am. So that I can rest for a few minutes before we start working. You know the feeling that while you are traveling, you always have in mind that something may have hit your back or that the tire of your bike may suddenly explode. So my advice to all cyclists like me, before leaving the house make sure your breaks are working, your bike's tire winds are right and every part of it is still in good condition. So that you do not get hurt and away from the misfortune that instead of being early, it will be too late for you to go.

The bike is very helpful to someone like me who can not afford to own a car. Even now that transportation has come back a bit, so many people, including me, still do. Because if you think about it, it still doesn't seem safe to ride public transport.

There are many benefits that can be given to you by riding bicycle every day.
