Commute By Bike

The safety of the bike commuters is also a very big question to be solved first before encouraging more and more people to go in for commutation on bicycles and discarding away their cars. There has been a survey on the number of accidents every year of the bikers and it ahs been seen that a total of about 66-86 percent of the bike commuters are struck by the people who are driving, and thereby causing injuries to them. There has to be some proper steps to be taken by the traffic departments to provide some separate paths for the commuters on bicycles in order to prevent the menacing number of the accidents. The ratio of the risk taken by a commuter bikes and the advantages can be give as a ratio of about 1:20, which is very heart breaking.

Then it can be said that all the facilities which can be obtained from the cars or other gas working vehicles cannot be possible here in the bikes of the commuters. One of them is the carriage of much load is not at all possible in a bicycle. The various accessories in the bike can raise the load lifting to a certain extent but still it can not match the other means of transport in this aspect. There are also special arrangements for the carrying of the laptops now days for the commuter, and also some of the special features such as the clothing which is waterproof, a little toolkit in cases of emergencies and also options of clothes in case of changing them.

The next worrying factor regarding the usage of a bike is the reasons of its security. The probability of the stealth of bicycle is much more than that of any other bigger vehicle. This is the reason why the security of the bike should be taken special care of so that it takes the maximum possible time for the thief to steal the bike. Some of the things which can be done in this regard are the use of special U locks, that also of a superior class, or use of these kinds of lock where more than one lock is used for extra security. The portable things should be removed off, and the attachment of the wheels of the bicycle to any particular stand or any racks made for the purpose. There can also be usage of special electronics locks which now days are being used in cars can also be used here.

The next most important disadvantage in the ways of cycling is that it is the commuter on the bike who is the sufferer of the maximum amount of pollutions they have to commuter on roads along with the other vehicles which can prove to be very costly in terms of their health. The entire systems of the body are affected and time comes when all the organs may even become hollow, and stop working. It is very disheartening that those people who are cycling for the cause of reducing pollutions are becoming the direct victims of them.
