It is not a surprise that people get confused about purchasing a bike or a car and end up having both in their shed. Although a car is always suitable for a family and a group of people it is often neglected that bikes are the one which sells more when it comes to personal usage. The differences which arise between bikes and cars totally depend on personal choices of an individual but we will look at factors which are suitable for bikes and reasons why you should buy one.

1. Money matters so does fuel economy


It is very hard to save money in our day to day life where our expense keeps on piling up year after year. Fuel, travel and other commuting expenses reach a surprising figure every year if you keep an account of them. A bike gives you more mileage due to a less powered engine and less overall weight it needs to pull in comparison to a Car. Candidates who have more work, traveling and commuting should buy a bike to save a lot of money, time and energy spent on public or other means of travel.


2. Repairs and maintenance cost is less

Due to its less surface area and compact design, it is not surprising that you are saving a lot of money when it comes to repairs and maintaining a bike. General inspection, repairs and cleaning range between 300 to 400 INR but there are many brands of cars where some type of wheels and rim costs more than the best bikes available in the market. Since repairs and maintenance are routinely and repetitive you will save a lot of money on a bike.


3. Handy to remove them and easy to park

Due to overcrowding and more people residing in less concentrated areas in a city, it becomes very difficult to find parking spots for a car or a heavy vehicle. A bike requires very less space for parking and is easily manageable in a limited space environment.


4. Winner in traffic hours and cities with narrow roads


Cities with economic growth have traffic 24 X 7 all days of the year due to the huge numbers of bike, car, buses and other heavy-duty vehicles which people own. The traffic drastically increases during peak hours which is morning 8 am to 11 am and evening 5 pm to 9 pm and is uncertain based on a lot of factors. A bike is very compact and needs less space to move ahead. Bikes will take less than half of the time it takes for a car in traffic due to its pickup and design.


5. Everyone needs companionship and a bike group


Bike groups are more common all over the world as one biker gets easily connected to another during a road trip or a rally. People belonging to bike groups are one of the most supportive and loving people you will ever meet, they understand the joy of a ride and share it with people seeking it.


6. Commuting and travelling should be smooth as water

When it comes to distant traveling a car is best but due to smaller connected cities, roads, and highways, it is more easy to commute and travel on a bike than a car. Bike travel is very smooth due to the speed which a bike can take off in small distances from one traffic signal to the other. Bikes also move smoothly from a shortcut road or pathways which a car cannot enter.


7. Ratio of money to usability is high


Anybody can bring all the daily necessities easily on a bike. A bike serves as a multipurpose vehicle for carrying, delivering materials or products from one place to another quickly. The money spent on fuel is very less when it comes to using a bike for delivering purposes. A car is not effective in such scenarios and can only be used for distant travel or carry more amount of products.


8. Riding a bike is exciting and adventurous

Buying your first bike starting it and riding it is the experience you will never forget. The feeling of owning a bike is overwhelming and refreshing. When a person rides a bike he is in control of himself and the bike which gives you a very good state of mind. Thrill and adventure is a by-product of riding a bike which no one talks about.


9. Less space = More freedom

Due to its compactness, a bike is very handy to use, move or even tow. The satisfaction you get after parking a bike in less space is mind-blowing. You can simply take a bike in your complex, society or locality and forget scratching your head if anything is going to happen to it.


10. Burn more calories - Its true


Riding a bike needs more concentration, effort and the use of muscles compared to riding a car. People who own a bike get a zen state of mind during the ride which boosts your mental health resulting in overall good health..


11. Be cooler - bikes are attractive


Structure of a bike is more mature compared to any vehicle and the person in charge of the bike carries a charm which no one can miss. Riders choose different bikes as per their personality and become a stereotype to the viewer. A person looks cooler and sexy when he rides his bike.


Conclusion: Although bikes are better than the car in many factors you must take care while riding a bike as you are not protected from any side. However, one needs to invest money to buy good riding protectors like Helmet, Jacket, Gloves, Shoes, etc and riding without one is complete NO. Accidents resulting in deaths are more in bike cases as compared to Cars. Bikes are less suitable for night and long distance traveling. Do enjoy your first ride on a bike.
