Benefits of cycling

I’m a cyclist, and for me, riding a bike is more than just a way to get around or a sport. It connects me with freedom, autonomy, and personal strength. Here’s a comic that might express a bit of that. Swipe to see it. Translated text: 1. A while ago we changed offices at work… 2. And now calculating here and there, I ride my bike 9 km to get there 3. 18 there and back. 4. And if I keep calculating 18×5 days x (72-3) weeks, -18×13 holidays… 5. I could say that if I came to work by bike every day… 6. (which won’t be the case) 7. I could ride 5,976 km in a year! 8. More than the length of Chile! 9. …I find it cool… 10. because riding a bike is cool 11. I need more than 20 fingers to list all the good things about bikes 12. … 13. and the truth is I don’t think a car is the best means of transportation 14. I do believe in a means of transportation on a human scale 15. a good public transportation 16. And on a train from Arica to Punta Arenas 17. Or as far as I can go, because there’s a sea 18. That’s all 19. Bye…

Soy ciclista y para mí andar en bicicleta es más que un medio de transporte o un deporte. Más bien me conecta con la libertad, la autonomía y el poder personal. Aquí un cómic que quizá transmita algo de eso. Desliza para verlo.
