Going green, taking better care of our planet Earth, and being more cautious about the resources we use. I hate to call it hype, but that is the new stage we are living in, and I must say that it is a breath of fresh air to see so many people making such a dramatic impact on our lives. Then I think to myself that I am unable to enjoy that breath of fresh air, because I am out of shape, a smoker, and I absolutely love chocolate, or pretty much anything and everything sweet. At that moment I decided I was going to do something about it, I was going to love my body and take better care of myself. I mean, why not, I do it for my friends, family, planet, why can I not do this for myself. I started to become a bit worried that I would not hit my goal because a gym membership was not in my budget, and I did not want to sign any new contracts. I live in a studio apartment which unfortunately does not have space for a personal gym.

I could not just quit so I pulled out my yoga mats, started cleaning them off, found my old hand weights, and as I looked out the window to check if the mail had come I saw my neighbor pull up on one of those folding bikes. I had never seen one before so I asked if I could check it out as the moment I saw him fold it and put it in his bag, I knew I had to be the next person with a folding bicycle. I started saving immediately as I expected the cost to be astronomical, and when I finally had the guts to look online to see how much more I had to save up, I was pleasantly surprised at the inexpensive cost compared to the craftsmanship and quality of the bike.

Sometimes you order something online and unfortunately the real product is nothing like you expected, or at least nothing like you had hoped. This was not the case with my new toy! I found a company that specializes in only folding bicycles. I read the ratings and reviews and a short time later I had a brand new bicycle, and enough money left over to go on a shopping spree when I hit my target goal.

I began riding my folding bike to work every day, and rather than going spree shopping once a month, I will take more frequent stops to the local grocery store. I started feeling great almost immediately and I always have people complimenting me on my green form of transportation. This product alone fits with the green movement if you think about it, I mean the goal is to take up less space, use what we have, and take care of our home as well as ourselves!

Well, it has been months since I realized who I had become and who I needed to be, and I am thankful to say that I now can go and smell the roses, enjoy the fresh crisp air in the morning, and I can now breathe long enough to play and dance with my children. This bike solved a multitude of problems all at the same time, my health, my space, and my environmental concerns. You really cannot beat a buy like that!
