Why Invest in a Commuter Bike

There are plenty of ways to get to or from work - you could drive your car, take a bus or train, or walk if you're close enough. But there's one option that people sometimes forget about: cycling. Bikes aren't just for leisurely rides around the park - they're actually a fantastic choice for daily commuting. Let us tell you all about why we think bikes are the best way to get around for just about anyone looking for a better way to commute.

Urban Bikes Cost Less

Bikes are a clear winner over other modes of transport in terms of cost-effectiveness. The initial cost of buying a bike may seem steep, but this one-time investment will pay for itself time and time again. That's because (unlike cars) bikes don't come with regular, costly expenses like fuel, parking, or serious maintenance costs like WOFs. Not to mention: bikes have a longer lifespan than cars, and with proper maintenance, they'll last a lifetime.

Even compared to public transport, bikes can still work out to be cheaper. Not having to worry about paying for tickets or passes saves a few headaches! Additionally, bikes can get you to your destination much faster than public transportation, which means you can save time and money.

If you want to get into cycling but can't quite afford to splash out on a bike yet, there are plenty of bike-rental programmes available, like ours here at Action Bicycle Club. We hire out bikes and e-bikes for a nominal fee, which is much cheaper than buying a bike outright. And it's a great way to try cycling out and see Christchurch from a new lens!

Bikes are a cost-effective mode of transportation that can save you money in the long run. Come to Action Bicycle Club today to find out more about our commuter, electric, mountain, and gravel bikes, plus our fantastic range of accessories, bags, parts, helmets, tools, clothing, and more.

Faster Commute

Bikes are a fast and efficient way to get around, especially in busy urban areas during peak hours. With a bike, you can easily bypass traffic jams and get to your destination faster than by car or bus during rush hour. Unlike cars, bikes can move easily through traffic and they offer the flexibility to take shortcuts and use routes that are not accessible to cars or buses, allowing you to take advantage of bike paths, alleys, and pedestrian zones to get to your destination faster.

Another advantage of cycling is less waiting! No more having to wait for buses or trains or sitting in traffic. People who commute by bike leave their homes or offices whenever they want and get to their destinations on time. Moreover, finding parking in busy urban areas can be a nightmare, and it can add significant time to your commute. Bikes can be parked near your destination, and you do not have to worry about finding a parking spot.

Finally, bikes help you get straight to where you need to go without any transfers. With public transport, you might have to transfer to another bus or train to get to your destination, adding significant time to your commute. Bikes offer a faster commute, flexibility, shortcuts, and no waiting time, which can save you time and make your commute more efficient.

Are you a commuter wanting to speed up your trip to work? Come to Action Bicycle Club, where we have a great range of bikes, electric bikes, and commuter bikes - plus all the tools, parts, and accessories you need, including bags, clothing, helmets, tubes, tyres, wheels, and more.

Health Benefits

There is also a whole heap of health benefits to cycling! One of the best examples of what riding bikes can do for your health is the fact that it is amazing for your cardiovascular system - cycling regularly can lower your blood pressure and even reduce your risk of heart disease.

Riding bikes is also a great way to reduce stress and anxiety levels. It can help you relax, clear your mind, and boost your mood by releasing endorphins, which are natural feel-good hormones. Moreover, regular cycling can improve your joint mobility and flexibility, which can reduce your risk of joint pain and stiffness. It is a low-impact exercise that puts minimal stress on your joints, making it a safe and effective exercise for people of all ages and fitness levels.

There's also evidence that riding bikes might be able to reduce the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and certain types of cancer. Many people use cycling in their daily routines to help manage their mental health - you might find that cycling improves your overall sense of well-being, boosts your confidence & self-esteem, and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety, leading to better mental health. Pretty cool!

If you want to start making the most of the benefits of bikes, come and talk to us at Action Bicycle Club! Along with our awesome range of urban bikes, we offer road, gravel, electric, and mountain (MTB) bikes. We also have all the equipment - including bags, helmets, wheels, clothing, tyres, parts, tools, and accessories - you could need to ensure your bike stays on the road for years to come.

Getting a city bike is more eco-friendly

Bikes do not produce any emissions, unlike cars which emit harmful gases that contribute to air pollution and climate change. By choosing to cycle instead of driving a car or taking public transportation, you are reducing your carbon footprint and helping to create a cleaner and healthier environment.

Moreover, bikes do not require any fossil fuels, making them a sustainable mode of transportation. Unlike cars that require oil and gas to run, bikes only require human energy - or electricity, if you shop our electric bikes. By choosing to cycle to work, you are reducing your reliance on non-renewable resources, and you are helping to promote a sustainable future.

Building and maintaining infrastructure requires significant amounts of energy and resources and has an intense impact on the environment. But bikes require a lot less infrastructure and maintenance than cars and trucks - so the more people we get on bikes, the better!

In conclusion, bikes are an eco-friendly alternative to cars and public transportation. By choosing to cycle, you are reducing your carbon footprint, promoting a sustainable future, and contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment. Riding bikes is a simple and effective way to reduce your impact on the environment, and it is a great way to get around while enjoying the benefits of exercise.

Convenience

Riding bikes is also a far more convenient choice for any commuter. Once you have your bike, you can get up and go without worrying about traffic, hefty maintenance costs or having to adhere to somebody else's schedule.

Besides being an eco-friendly transport option, bikes offer great portability and convenience. Their lightweight and compact design makes them easy to store and transport, enabling you to take them along even if you do need to drive somewhere. Additionally, bikes can be parked in a variety of locations - giving you the flexibility to find a suitable spot near where you want to be.

With a bike, you can easily adapt to changes in your schedule or route. If there is a roadblock or traffic jam, you can simply take a different route or a shortcut to get to your destination faster. Additionally, bikes are not affected by gas prices, parking fees, or other expenses that come with car ownership or public transportation.
