Ride my Bicycle

Purchasing a bicycle has been the best thing I’ve done since moving to Saitama. 


-The weekly savings on public transport is ¥3600 or ¥14400 monthly.  Even with holidays and rainy days, the bike paid for itself in less than two months. 


-I get exercise without taking extra time for it.  It works out to be about three hours and fifteen minutes of exercise per week.  And that doesn’t count weekends. 

-Biking has helped me get to know my city.  For a month, every week I’d get lost going home from Japanese class, but that was helping me learn the streets and where they lead to and what they connect with.  After a while I stopped getting lost and started figuring out the best routes to different places around town.
