Have you ever envisioned yourself cascading through a mountain pass, with nothing but open road ahead, with your bike beneath you, and a cool breeze fluttering across your face? Well, now’s the time to stop procrastinating and make that vision a reality.
Check out the following five reasons why riding a motorbike can change your life for the better.
1) Riding brings you closer to the world around you.
The best way to describe the difference between driving a car and riding a bike is by comparing looking at a picture of a river as opposed to actually swimming in it. On a bike, all the air conditioning, metal facades and mod cons of contemporary cars are removed, resulting in unrestricted movement and vision, and complete exposure to mother nature.
2) Riding leaves a smaller footprint on the earth.
While the debate continues to rage over which is more environmentally friendly, the car or the bike, the fact remains that motorcycles weigh much less than the average car, use less fuel and are constructed using fewer raw materials. The greenest choice, of course, is to opt for an electric bike to keep environmental impact to an absolute minimum.
Learning to ride a motorbike opens up a world of unexplored opportunities, offering adrenaline-pumping excitement and blissful zen, both at the same time.
3) Riding can improve your mental health.
Navigating roads on two wheels requires constant concentration, meaning you simply have to stay in the moment to stay alive. This increased cognitive function combines with a reduction in stress levels, and an overall lifting of mood.
4) Riding will ensure you get to work faster.
The obvious positive to motorcycles is the ability to weave in and out of traffic and reach the office before your colleagues, with much less frustration.
5) Riding a motorbike is cool.
Let’s face it, it’s the truth.
