Before you dust off your bicycle and get on to it to ride to school or anywhere else, one of the most important things that you should do is make sure your bicycle is in good shape. First, check your tyres. If any threads are showing or if there is any cracking from dry rotting, then it's time to buy new tires. Buy something lightweight to lighten up your bicycle and to improve acceleration. Be sure to buy tyres with the appropriate width and tread for your size and riding conditions

You will be surprised, a lot of people still use bicycles in Asia and in Europe. I hae seen in some European cities where there are demarcated paths for cyclists. It is an excellent for of exercise to keep you fit and burn excess fat!
