Thank you Steemit for helping me save the environment! I was able to earn enough sbd to buy a bicycle, now I can cycle through traffic and on undeveloped roads. I actually haven't cycled in years and it is making me feel worried to bike on busy roads where cyclists don't really matter. Living in a car-centric, motorbike-centric island, it can be quite unnerving to go with the traffic flow, with the narrow roads and speeding motorbikes. But hey, I'm probably just making up excuses. There is no other way to overcome my fear but to just go through it!
I'm actually happy that I'm able to go around the town or to the beach with my new bike. And of course, my goal is to save on transportation costs so I can have money for other things that matter. I don't have a car and I don't need it here.
There are not many girls riding bikes around here, so I think it's nice to bike around and promote this fun activity. It also feels great to do your part in reducing carbon footprint. It is good for the island.
Cycling is not only good for your physical health but also for your mental well-being. It's a great physical activity outdoors that helps release those pleasure chemicals in your brain to improve your mood. So if you're feeling unhappy, depressed or stressed out, go out and ride a bike!
I feel like I'm really in a good mood after riding my bike around the neighborhood. I'm riding a bike for happiness and mind you, it's really working! I remember when I still had my longboard, I'm having the same adrenaline rush. That feeling of biking through this warm weather is just priceless, all that feel-good sweat. It also makes me feel good to know that I'm losing extra pounds and I surely don't mind that. Cycling or any other physical activity helps improve your self-esteem.
Now that I have a bike, I'm thinking of including a cycling blog or something here on Steemit. I'll probably blog about my trip to the beach to catch the sunrise, a good reason to wake up early. And it's also a good reason to get off my computer and unplug for a couple of hours every day. Cycling is a really great activity to get away from it all.
My lovely Steemians, what do you think of my bike?
