No more public transport woes
Trams too packed, trains cancelled, buses just showing up whenever they want instead of sticking to the timetable... All valid gripes in the unpredictable world of PT. Plus, you don't have to deal with undesirable members of the public like pungent packs of obnoxious teen boys, snooty old ladies making racist remarks and dudes who sit with their legs spread as far apart as possible.
Straight to the point
Sometimes cycling is just faster; walking or running only gets you so far so quickly, public transport can be unreliable and get caught in traffic, and your car could be stop-starting all over the place during peak hour. Whoosh past them all on two wheels, hair slicked back and your sunglasses on, baby.

Save $$$
Yeah, you have to purchase the bike, and accessories, and pay to get it serviced occasionally, but it's still gonna work out cheaper than the car/rego/insurance/petrol bizzo or daily public transport fares.

Climate change is real, folks, dunno if you've heard. If everyone does a little we can slow it down. Commuting via bike uses up no energy but your own (which is good for you, any way).
Work it out
If you ride regularly enough (or uphill a lot) you'll notice dem legs getting TONED. Defined calves are so in right now. Not to mention you'll feel your gluteus maximus will firm right up.
Fun with bikes
Cycling can be a solo sport, a cute date activity or a group adventure. Assemble a bike gang and tear through the streets while obeying road rules and smiling at everyone. Check out bike trails in your area, packs snacks and a camera and soak in some scenery and serenity. Teach yourself how to bunny hop.
Gigs and bikes
Reasons to travel by bike to gigs.
- It'll ensure you don't get stuck in traffic or delayed by public transport fuck-ups.
- Will get you PUMPED for the band*! (*Only if you don't have to ride too far or hard)
- If done regularly, will strengthen your leg muscles so you can stand and dance more at gigs.
- You will be feeling full of adrenalin after a great gig so riding home (or to your next destination to keep the night going) is a great way to harness that energy
- Once you get home you'll be EXHAUSTED from all that riding and will fall into a deep and satisfying sleep. FACT.
