It was only two weeks since I started biking to work from my boarding house and I think it is quite fulfilling. Places seem to be nearer because of this access to this mode of transportation. It is much as enjoyable as walking but a quicker way to reach your destination is more convenient. I was happy that I was able to finally buy and own a bike after a long while but because of these current effects of the pandemic that I avoid public transportation as much as possible, this makes biking a lot more viable.
I did not get the budget at hand at first but access to the emergency loan recently gave me an opportunity. I did not get to spend a lot on leisure because of banning social gatherings and liquor and so I get to have this funded something like a gadget and like this, a bicycle.
What made me chose a folding bike instead of the usual mountain bike is the convenience to store and carry it. Though the one I bought from a bike shop near Tacas, Jaro is quite awkward in its folded state, unlike from what I saw on Youtube for reference. Anywho, I am still getting used to its adjustment to my height as I got an awkward position which got me paining early one.
My current route to the office I more convenient than the previous one, with lesser traffic to avoid and a long stretch of road to enjoy. That is also enjoying the scenery along the river in Muelley Loney. The only inconvenience is the humid weather which I needed towels to cool down and wipe my perspiration, and also the rain when caught with a drizzle that will really ruin my day.
Anyhow, people in the city have been really considering biking as their main means of transportation going to work and will further do so as the local government is initiating plans to improve the current bike lanes and to add more within the city loop going to the outskirts. It is the bike capital of the country after all.
