Reason 5,479,851,987 why biking to work is better than driving? The people you meet!
On Friday I was biking home from work and met my fiance on the trail. We stopped off to grab a couple of things from the store and as we were about to leave, an older man rode by on his bike. He got off and came over to us and said, “This is the first time I’ve ever seen two bicycles outside the grocery store. I hope it’s not the last!” When are you EVER going to hear a person say I hope I see more people driving?
I find that stuff happens all the time to me - like the UPS lady who started talking to me when I dismounted in front of my office. She asked me about cycling, about exercise, and about the best places to go riding in the city.
Or the guy who says good morning when you’re both stopped at a light. No driver would ever roll down his window to say that to you, unless he was trying to pick you up.
It’s those little things that brighten up your day and make commuting fun.
