There are so many people out there that think that riding a bicycle is a bit like acting like you were in your early years again. Is this something that is true or are the people saying it being a bit childish themselves?
I can see their point in certain ways, some of the cycling clothing does look a bit out there and those cycling shoes look simply ridiculous on some of the people that wear them.
I have taken a look at their point and they are without doubt, wrong. It is very hard for me to understand how someone riding to work getting a nice bit of excercise and doing some good for the environment is acting like a child at all? It is also very true to say that people that think this way are very overweight, unable to ride or very arrogant people. They are the people that tend to drive to work in the morning whilst having a nice puff on a cigarette and tucking into a nice fast food morning meal. How nice does that sound!
Other Reasons People Associate Bikes With Children
The fact is that most people have not been on a bike since they were a very young child and it is one of the very first things they remember doing too. It is certainly one of the first things that a parent will teach their child to do other than potty training and helping them to walk and talk. Most adults do not remember the times in the nappies and one of the first memories to pop into the mind is those training wills.
On the other hand it is more than possible you had a bit of a fall when you were younger and have never really liked bikes since.
The real truth is that bikes are certainly not for kids and by riding one you are helping the environment and there are going to be more and more of them on the road soon.
Get on those road bikes and get riding!
