10 Good Reasons To Ride To Work – Blog Action Day

Paul and I ride to work every day. Over the years we have come to understand that there are so many reasons why this is such a great idea.

  • We get to hear the birds singing in Kings Park in the mornings – nice start to the day.
  • We don’t have to fight each other for the parking space.
  • Our clients get to enjoy our free parking bay.
  • We save lots of money on parking and petrol.
  • Our everyday exercise just happens, we are fitter and healthier.
  • We both look better in jeans!
  • Riding home is a great way to unwind at the end of the day.
  • By cutting through Kings Park we avoid peak hour traffic and frayed tempers.
  • We work inside so our rides to and from work help us to connect with nature and the elements.
  • Best of all this is a carbon neutral way to get about.

I was disappointed when the government gave out grants to have cars changed to gas when they could have given everybody a new bike!! Get on your bike people!! There are so many benefits and it is also a lot of fun.

    Good idea about the grants Jenny, gas for cars is only a partial solution.

    Great points!
    We really don’t have any excuse in a city with beautiful weather for so much of the year – and the massive parking fee increases is an added incentive :)

    Alan Harrison - A Changed Outlook

    During the fitting I was asked why I had retained my natural eye and had not had it removed. I explained that the specialist I saw when it first happened recommended I keep my natural eye as long as possible. That started the cogs working. When the scleral cover rejected I started to go down the track of having it removed and a prosthetic fitted. .. [my new artificial eye] has changed my whole outlook on life.
