Opinion essay: Travelling by bicycle

People should be forced to travel by bicycle rather than by car for all short journeys
It may be daunting to wrap your head around the idea of powering your own transportation, but those who have done it before, call it the best way to travel. Referring to short journeys, there is no doubt that bicycling is way better than traveling by car.
First and foremost, I am convinced that compared to other travel forms, biketouring is one of the most affordable and ecological way to move around. There are neither petrol bills nor transport costs. Also, bicycles are easy to maintain and produce no pollution, which means that their use lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Furthermore, as a person who loves photography, I have noticed that the flexibility of cycling offers special advantages. The bike gives me the opportunity to get forward and to be independent. At the same time, I have the freedom to get into remote areas, to stop everywhere and find the perfect perspective to take a picture.
Despite the fact that riding a bike can be risky when it comes to cycling next to cars and there is a danger of being hit by one, you can minimize it by looking for roads or trails less travelled. It is true that car noise can be very annoying and sport in the fresh air, without car fumes, is even healthier.
In conclusion, I certainly believe that bicycle experiences will not fade quickly, and the landscapes will become more memorable, because I have to fight for them by myself and not just see them passing by while I am driving my car.
