본문 2 1 The Freedom of Traveling by Bicycle

Travel is one of the things I m most enthusiastic about in life When I was a child there was nothing I loved more than going on long car journeys with my family But now the bicycle has taken over as my most preferred mode of transportation My bike helps me move faster and cover longer distances than I would on foot In addition if I use my bike I can be free from traffic jams as well as public transit s restrictive routes and schedules These benefits make cycling perfect for exploring urban environments

When I go on an expedition to a new city on my bike I keep my schedule relaxed I set a few goals but I also keep an open mind and let myself be spontaneous If I come upon a beautiful riverside bike path or a charming neighborhood that intrigues me I seize the opportunity Even if I end up not being able to see everything during my first visit I can always return on my bike later

본문 2 2 The Freedom of Traveling by Bicycle

A bicycle provides an independent and liberating way of experiencing metropolitan areas I used to just stay mostly in the center of a town when I traveled without a bike But now I can go off the beaten path and explore every corner of the area without worrying about finding a bus or making a long trek on foot Also I ve never liked the feeling of being a tourist When I m on my bike I feel like a local In fact people sometimes even ask me for directions

Cycling can give you the freedom to enjoy cities in ways that are impossible by walking driving a car or riding mass transit Not only that but it s fun If you have an open schedule and an open mind why don t you try traveling by bicycle Your bicycle can become the key to getting the most out of your travels
