Many people get reminded of the days when they were younger and riding a bike which I suppose is where they get the idea that bikes are for kids. Is all of this actually true or are there just people out there that like to cause a bit of an argument?
I can see their point in certain ways, some of the cycling clothing does look a bit out there and those cycling shoes look simply ridiculous on some of the people that wear them.
I have taken a look at their point and they are without doubt, wrong. It is very hard for me to understand how someone riding to work getting a nice bit of excercise and doing some good for the environment is acting like a child at all? It is also very true to say that people that think this way are very overweight, unable to ride or very arrogant people. They are the people that tend to drive to work in the morning whilst having a nice puff on a cigarette and tucking into a nice fast food morning meal. Sounds great!
Other Reasons People Associate Bikes With Children
The fact is that most people have not been on a bike since they were a very young child and it is one of the very first things they remember doing too. learning to ride of bike is one of the first things your parents will teach you, many people will not remember the older days of learning to walk and talk. Most adults do not remember the times in the nappies and one of the first memories to pop into the mind is those training wills.
On the other hand it is more than possible you had a bit of a fall when you were younger and have never really liked bikes since.
The truth is that bikes are not for kids at all and they help the environment and you will start to see a lot more people on them as they are working towards saving the earth.
Get on those road bikes and get riding!
