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.
