Cars, Bikes, and Transportation

Have you ever come home from work, started prepping food for dinner or for the next day and found you’re missing that one ingredient? Yea, that happens to me every so often too. So what do you do?

You probably:

Get in the car

Drive to the grocery store

Park your car

Shop

Pay

Load the groceries in your car

Drive home

Unload

Then, you get to cook/prep again

That’s a long list to get a couple quick things. Not to mention, you’re putting unnecessary miles on your car, causing unnecessary harm to the environment, and wasting gas.

When something like this happens to me, I like to take my bike to the store. It’s a great way to get outside, get a cardio workout in, and do a small part in helping preserve the environment.

I do realize that this only works if you have to grab a couple things. If you’re going full-blown grocery shopping, by all means, drive your car. If you only need to grab a couple of those last minute things or if you have to go somewhere that’s a short distance, why not take a bike?

What do you think about using a bike to get to the grocery store or go a short distance?
