Did you know?

Differences it makes as you commute using your bicycle• No honking and pushing/bashing each
other• Cyclists is happily on his way with a
joyful mind• Collective stress for the car owners
which I think penetrates in other aspects of life too
• Being a cyclist you are almost always in time
