nowadays people are starting to stir up a new discussion arguing that bicycles are a better choice for everyone. In my opinion, both ways of going around have their perks and cons and we should consider a means of balancing them. From the
first
point of view, using cars can be the fastest method as it can get you anywhere in just a few minutes,

of course, considering traffic will not get in the

because if,
for example
, it is cold and raining, you can still drive in the comfort of your dry seat and air-conditioning.
Nevertheless
, riding a bicycle is a
way
more economic option considering that it is not needed to worry about spending money on gasoline, and expensive repair, insurance, or inspection. It is as well more ecological and better for your health than motor vehicles,
this
is one of the reasons why choosing
this
method is heavily recommended. Owning a bike is practical, there is always parking, you avoid traffic, and you can take it with you anywhere, even to narrow roads or public transportation,
