The invention of a bicycle can be regarded as a revolution that changed the way the world travels. It is the most energy efficient form of travel that is helpful in more than a single way. It takes least amount of energy to get to point B from point A when compared to any form of machine-less travel. It also serves as a good workout for the rider and most importantly, it does not emit any green house gases into our environment.

The Chinese seem to have understood the secret behind bicycles more than anybody else(it’s changing); they use it more than any other form of travel. Rich cities in Europe and Japan have been realizing the advantages of bicycles and have jumped on the bandwagon. United States is probably the only country that hasn’t embraced the secret behind longer living with good health and healthy environment. Less than 1% commuters in the US use bicycles.

The production of bicycles is outnumbering other vehicles by a huge margin. Around the world, the production of bicycles outnumbers automobiles by almost two times; and outnumbers cars by at least three times.
