Why I think bicycles are better
than other transport for Bulgaria?
The bicycle as a method for recreation, sport and
transport is well known all over the world. Not in Bulgaria till today.
I have a simple explanation of this problem: like the most poor people
in the world the Bulgarians use every opportunity to present their relative
financial wellbeing to the others; this includes as a must a car, and the
major thought of people who are using bicycles is, that they have not enough
money to buy a car. Wrong! But this will change soon! The influence of
the better civilized folks is too strong. The following reasons speak for
my theory:
-
In today's life with less physical activity the bike
is a real present for the body! Just an hour biking and you are fit and
ready for successful work!
-
The streets are overloaded with cars. If for a bike
it takes 10 minutes to arrive from point A to point B in the city, for
the car sometimes it will take half an hour. Think about this!
-
The problem with the parking places is great today
and it will go worse in the future. This problem does not exist with a
bike, which can be easily parked at home.
-
The city transport in a great city like Sofia is
a part from the past. As such part probably it will be restricted in the
future, or will disappear in it's today presentation!
There are many bike producers around the world, but
Italian bikes are well known for a good design and functionality. They
are light and it is a pleasure to feel the real speed with them.
One of the well known Italian producers is Bianchi.
Their web page is very attractive and perhaps useful, because of the expert
who will answer your questions in a discussion like form. You can go directly
to the useful part of the site with the link: http://www.bianchi.it/Default2.html.
I'm a proud owner of an Bianchi X MetaPro - Mountain
