Cycling should be in day to day life because it is inexpensive, because it will make day-to-day life happier, and because it is a proven fact that people who cycle are typically healthier than people who do not partake in cycling. There is no doubt that there are skeptics against the proposal of cycling for a general well-being of society, but there are many opinions benefiting the proposal.

Hussian Edina High School Cycling in minneapolis: How to improve interactions between cyclists and motorists Introduction Around the world cycling is a very popular mode of transportation because of its ease and cost, yet in america we don’t seem to accomodate for all the bikers. Countries in europe such as denmark and the netherlands have the highest number of cyclists in their cities. The BBC says that
The role of infrastructure To understand the role of the physical infrastructure in increasing the cycling levels, Hull and O’Holleran (2014) compare coherence, directness, attractiveness, safety and comfort of the bicycle network in six cities throughout the UK and the Netherlands. The research concludes that the design of bicycle infrastructure involves several spatial and behavioural factors; at a government level, policy must create the foundation for making motorised vehicles less necessary

Almost the entire spot of cycling is based on physics. Some aspects are obvious, like torque and other basic forces, although others do not come to mind as easily. Things like aerodynamics are playing an increasingly larger role in the sport, along with other things like damped harmonic motion (think mountain bike suspension), and efficiency. A lot of the detailed things would be beyond this paper, but the basics, which are the most import parts, will be talked about. Torque is what makes the

taker. Have you ever heard the expression “if they jumped off a bridge would you too?” My answer was a nervous “yes” to a free-fall jump off a bridge. This decision was a life changing one. It was a hot and humid day and my friends and I were out cycling for a few hours to fill in time. After a while we reached a foot bridge that was suspended over water. We all stopped before it. Suddenly my best friend turned around and said “I dare you to jump off the bridge.” Not to say anything, but I have a
