I wrote the list of The Best 7 Fixed Gear Bikes 2020 for emphasizing the main concept of fitness: You should move more than you drowse.
I couldn’t forget my visit to Amsterdam, Holland. Almost, the whole city is riding bikes. I still remember the prime minister of Holland after an important meeting when he rides his bike while he is holding his bag, and journalists are running after him on foot asking him many questions about this meeting. It is an unforgettable moment.
Amsterdam is a pure-air city. There are no vehicles in the city except for public transportation for who doesn’t have a bike or like to ride one.
Riding bike is a great sport with many aspects and you should try it at least for a month to touch its benefits.
