Public transportation in the Cyprus has the sky touching price. Its about 2 dollars for 10 minutes ride and if we had to ride for 30 minutes it is around 5 dollars, which is quite expensive for the Asian students. Another aspect is in Cyprus, public transportation service is very poor. The bus comes to stand every 1-2 hours only, so it’s no use for waiting for bus. But Walking in the hot country like Cyprus in day time is, none more different than killing oneself. Temperature is around 45 degree in the summer time. In the cold season, god it’s so freezing around here that I can hardly take out my hand from my pocket. Exercise is another thing we have to do over here as lot people are fat around here and with the problem of diabetes, so there is a great chance that we can also get victim of that disease. Prevention is better than cure.
After considering all those things, I purchased one bicycle and it’s helping me as I have thought. I can reach to my work with great ease, in time, I feel motivated to go to any places, as it’s easy in cycle. Believe me, I would really feel hard to go to college walking thirty minutes, if I don’t have bicycle. Well thanks to it that I am motivated to get in college and get connected with my lecture. Well another aspect is I am saving my time of exercise, as I will be riding my bicycle at least 30 minutes a day, going and coming from work and colleges. I am saving my pennies though my bicycle that I would have paid in transportation. I am enjoying my ride in free air. And another aspect that I have never thought is that I am being a help to my friends through my bicycle. Well they do remember me whenever they need my bicycle and I am being great help to them in their need.
Well those are positive aspects of my bicycle but on the other hand sometimes it’s really a nuisance thing to get along with. What happened to me is I was going to job and at the mid way it got punctured. Now the problem to me was that I got in job late, I have to get hold of bicycle and walk a long way to my job, another problem is I had to spend money to fix it. Fixing in the cycle in Cyprus is really hard, first is repair shop is very scarce. Another thing is, here is a rule that only cycles can be repaired at purchase shop. So it’s a great prob. So I really felt bad at that moment, because it took me two days to fix cycle. Not only that, I feel hard to walk as well, since I have been using bicycle. Well not only that much, the motor vehicle accident is the major defect of bicycle. I had been hit by motor for 2 times and thanks to god that nothing happened to me. Cyprus is full of motor vehicles and everybody runs the vehicle at their maximum speed, as if competition is going on. The average speed over here is 80 km/hr. So it’s really risky in Cyprus to ride a bicycle.
Though it has more of dangerous part in riding cycle, I am enjoying my cycle riding in Cyprus. Mostly I ride my cycle thorough the path for pediatrician, minimizing risk for motor vehicle accident and I am fixing my bicycle by myself minimizing my expense. My bicycle has been a great help for. If you friends don’t have any problem with motor vehicle accident, try riding bicycle, it’s great fun.
