I was watching television today and i came across and advertisement in which people with bicycles where all over the city. Don't ask me what the initial purpose of this ad was... Anyway, after that i thought i haven't seen any bikes around here. that is a shame because having a bicycle is fun. I remember when i was little and my brother and I used to go around the area with our bikes and have fun traveling around.
Also, back in Switzerland (my mother is from Switzerland so im gonna have a couple of references to that country) every city, every town has a path for the people who walk and for the people riding bicycles next to the road. They really understand the value of riding a bike!
My point is that having a bicycle equals to: keeping yourself fit, keeping the environment around you cleaner since this method of transportation does not need any fuel just your personal work out, and last it is fun! kids love to ride around with their bikes and they can also transport themselves wherever they want (though in another country with no sidewalks for bikes might not be as safe. depends also on the size of the city and how much traffic there is in the streets).
This will clearly give some freedom to mothers :)

Thats a funny comment at the end i like the humour. I also like the idea of transportation and how people should be doing more biking rather then driving especially when stats websites show the over weight population being so high in north America. Keep writing i want to see what other thigns for the enviornment you can come up with.
I myself prefer walking over biking, but I agree that our society is one that relies on cars more than any other form of transportation. It allows us to get places faster, but at what cost?
