Biking
After jogging,
biking is probably the most popular weekend activity for all ages
worldwide.
Whether you're traveling
solo, or with friends and family, bicycling is a great stress
reliever. Just ask any traveler who's returned from a travel
bike tour to discover how seeing the world from the seat of
a bike puts a whole new spin on things!
Nearer to home, meanwhile,
biking always a good excuse just to get out into the open air,
and hit a scenic bike path or trail either in major cities or
on backwoods country roads.
Biking has always been
the top choice for transporation in Europe, but in the U.S. the
bike is just beginning to replace the traditional gas guzzler
as America grows to realize the obvious environmental, health
and cost-saving benefits of commuting to work by bike.
As a result, calls for
establishing official bike paths are also
on the rise nationwide.
