Bike to work, why this is good?

As the most prevalent form of transportation in the world, cycling is now starting a trend, in line with government efforts to promote cycling several countries through special programs. The number of bicycles on the planet more than 800 million, nearly double the number of public vehicles, but to further promote cycling activities, countries like the Netherlands, Danish, Belgium, and Germany to develop the road network for bicycles, each with rights to the road separate from the driveway. Separate parking, bike rentals with a refundable deposit will be refunded, even a bicycle garage, all sought to further promote cycling activities. Such programs have a huge impact on how people view their choice for transportation. For example, cycling activities in Erlangen, Germany, has doubled after the bike path along the 160 km was completed. Many Chinese cities have a road bike five or six lanes wide. Indeed, the bike is very important in China, and monitoring traffic in the city of Tianjin has more than 50,000 records in a single bicycle crossing the intersection in one hour.

Some of the benefits of cycling include:

Health

World Health Organization (WHO), one of the UN organizations working in the field of health states, the physical activity of cycling is a cheap and suitable to maintain health. In fact, in the Danish study reveals, cycling can reduce mortality by 40%. No wonder that later became one of cycling's favorite sport.

Saves Money

Because we do not need to spend money to buy gasoline and transportation tax.

Refreshing

Mentally, cycling can be a happy mood, reduce depression, and develop confidence and instill sportsmanship spirit. This research is supported by Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Albert Enstein College of Medicine, USA, Dr Andrew Adesman. "Children usually learn to ride my tricycle at the age of 2.5 to 3 years. With their accompanying cycling at an early age, the bond between families will get stronger," said Andrew.

in addition, contrast to the individual cycling, pedaling a bicycle along a family member has a distinct impression. In addition to familiarizing, also can maintain cohesion among family members, spent the morning with a bike ride together, can foster a sense of mutual attention and protection.

It has not been talking about ozone. For information only, the current global warming (global warming) has become an international campaign activists and governments that have a safety concern for the damage layer of earth. A protective ozone layer in our atmosphere which prevents global warming and reduce the impact of sunlight that can harm health. If global warming continues to increase, then the sea level will rise due to melting of permanent snow at the poles of the earth. While ultraviolet rays from the sun that does not terfiletr well by ozone can cause various diseases. Among others, an acute form of skin cancer. In fact, the ozone hole is currently widening, and efforts to prevent it has not been as fast and as much action damage by human hands.

Hazard due to toxic combustion and global warming thus forcing the transportation authority to issue regulations relating to restrictions on pollution in the world. This time with strict covenants have been made by various institutions. The most industrious and most famous is The Euro Emission Regulations, U.S. EPA, and also in Japan and Asia in general with their respective rules.
