Advantages
Of Traveling By Bicycle
Everyone knows that cycling is a fun,
healthy and economical means of travel
around the neighborhood; however,
traveling by bicycle has added advantages.
Independence
Cycling emancipates, offering privacy
and freedom. Get where you want, when
you want, all on your own steam.
Speed
In just about every town, cycling
on a Giatex folding bike is often
quicker than other forms of transportation.
No car door to unlock, no engine to
start or warm up, no seatbelt to put
on, no need to stop at a gas station
to fuel up, etc. When you arrive,
take 10 seconds to fold the bike &
place it in a bag to take inside with
you. That's door to door transportation
free of the frustrating delays you'd
experience otherwise.
Bicyclists
travel fast enough to feel a cooling
breeze yet slow enough to experience
and enjoy the scenery (be it a city,
a town, a small village, rolling countryside
or absolute wilderness).
Flexibility
- Get Off The Beaten Path
Unlike
travelers by motor coach, bicycle
tourists can modify their itinerary,
deviating onto very small routes that
would be impossible otherwise. Change
your plans on a whim (or by accident
at a wrong turn). If you're getting
tired or the weather's changing, you
can always throw your bike in a bus
or a taxi.
Affordability
Touring by bike rather than by car
means no car rental fees, no worries
about high costs of fuel, no parking
fees (or fears of your car being stolen,
damaged or breaking down). The Giatex
is safe by your side. Just fold it
up, bag it & take it inside where
ever you go.
Fits
Inconspicuously Into Checked Luggage
Giatex
turns the world into your cycling
playground, packing into a typical
suitcase that meets the 62" rule
of most airlines. Bring your Giatex
along whenever you fly. When you arrive,
remove the bike from your suitcase,
take 10 minutes to assemble it, and
go!
Convenience
Leave when you want, stop at a restaurant
or restroom when you please, pull
over & shoot that awesome photo
you would have missed going 70 mph...
When you arrive at your destination,
just hop off your bicycle and walk
right in.
Culture
Meet interesting people. Cars &
tour buses insulate tourists from
experiencing the local culture that
they're trying to experience in the
first place. Getting on your Giatex
is a great way to break the barrier
and BE part of the local scene.
Wildlife
The relatively quiet nature of bicycles
increases the opportunity for wildlife
encounters. I've rode through a herd
of American Buffalo in Yellowstone,
past Alligators sunning themselves
on the bayou in Louisiana, near possum,
raccoons and snakes along the Mississippi
River, beside grazing deer in the
Colorado Rockies and Mountain Lions
on the Grand Canyon North Rim.
Riding
the Giatex, you're more likely to
notice birds, insects, plants and
animals. Your unrestricted vision
and relaxed pace allows you to notice
colors and movement more easily. You'll
actually smell the flowers and hear
wildlife rustling in the underbrush.
Exercise
Face it, sitting in a car or bus seat
will never offer the health benefits
of traveling by bike.
Adventure
While adventure travel sounds
exotic, the real reason to travel
on your Giatex are the incredible
experiences you'd have missed otherwise.
Sure, you might fall short of your
destination because it rained, you
had a flat, etc. but what about that
deserted beach you accidentally discovered?
Or the Australian gal trekking the
world that you met on a bike trail
in the Swiss Alps? Or the actor you
met on a bench in Central Park? Adventures
aren't always pleasant, but they'll
enrich you with memories for a lifetime.
