At Vietnam Bike Tours, we believe that cycling is the healthiest alternative to all other modes of transportation. By riding a bicycle, you can simultaneously decrease gasoline consumption, improve your quality of life, and protect the environment. Like with all aerobic activity, when you ride a bicycle, your heart works hard to pump blood throughout your body. So, naturally, biking fortifies your heart, lungs, and other important parts of your body. Commuting by bike also reduces the pollution that causes common health problems like asthma and bronchitis.
Here’s some more cycle inspiration from around the world:
“Nothing compares with the simple pleasure of a bike ride.”
-President John F. Kennedy-
“Riding a bike is liberating in that I-still-feel-like-a-kid sort of way, and I'm not trapped in a metal/glass/infernal combustion coffin looking at the world through wide-screen television eyes. And parking is always free on a bike. And my bike starts every morning, even in cold weather.”
-Hurl Everstone , Publisher of Cars R Coffins
“Without cycling, I’d die consuming the quantities of beer that I do. I also ride for the scenery. And what other opportunity do I have for stuffing 250 pounds into too-small Lycra bib shorts?”
-Matt Wiebe, Tech Editor for Bicycle Retailer and Industry News
“Humanity awakens at the sight of a two-wheeled traveler.”
-Loretta Esparza, Salsa Cycles
“Cycling is the best way to burn a bazillion calories and hang with the family.”
-John Kibodeaux, High Desert Bicycles
“Riding makes me healthy. It saves me time. It makes me feel good and gives me energy to do more in life. Of course, getting around by bike is a green thing to do.”
-Joe Breeze, Breezer Bike Company -
