Vancouver Chiropractor: To Commute or Not to Commute

March 4, 2009 by Dr. Carla Cupido

Bicycle transportation has recently become a regular and very fun part of my life.  My husband LOVES riding his bike; he wants to bike wherever we go regardless of weather or time of day.  Recently, I have liberated myself from the Ontario suburban car-attached mentality!  The more we cycle, the easier it is to jump on my bike instead of in the car AND it is becoming increasingly enjoyable!

Here are some reasons to cycle instead of drive:

1.       It is the green choice.

2.       It is good exercise.

3.       It makes you feel alive.

4.       It provides the opportunity to interact with individuals in your community.  This truly increases our quality of life!

5.       It will inspire other people to bike.

6.       It gives you time to relax and clear your mind.

7.       It enriches your life in ways you may not expect.

8.       It prevents the issue of being stuck in traffic and being late for engagements, therefore decreasing the risk of road rage.

9.       It is cool!

10.   It is fun!

What do you think?  Why not give it a go?  Once you get out there, you will feel better about yourself and you will be surprised at how alive you will feel!
