For how long has your bicycle gathered dust? Has the traffic made you stop riding it in your neighbourhood? Well, if your answer is yes to both then here’s a reason why you should take your bicycle out: May is bike month. Bike rides on balmy evenings when the sun is setting and a cool draft floats in the air have the power to heal you. This sensual experience gives a sense of wholeness and lets you connect with your feet that are pedalling, your hands that are holding on for stability and your skin that feels the touch of wind. But that is just one reason why you should take your bicycle out. Here are some others:
