Jycling, what?

I cycle to school every day and I really enjoy it. Even though I only have to bike like 5 to 10 minutes, it makes me feel like I've done a little excercise and it also saves me quite some time because I can leave whenever I want and don't have to wait for the bus. Unfortunately, many people don't like to cycle. But maybe it will change soon..

What is it? Recently the Halfbike was developed. And yes, it’s literally a half bike. The Halfbike combines biking and running. So you can’t tell anyone ‘I’m jogging’ or ‘I’m cycling’, no. It will be: ‘I will go do it both!’. The new bicycle makes it fun to train your balance and reflexes.

Why is it cool? I think the Halfbike is something that this world needed. I think cycling is fun, but it may have become a little old-fashioned. So this new way of cycling/jogging in the neighborhood is so fun! I think this new bicycle can be related to the trend sustainable cities. Because of this new invention, people will (I believe) start to move again. For example, look at hover boards. I see children (and of course adults also) standing on those things all the time! It’s a fun way to get moving. So, also good for the environment, no cars needed anymore, right? And I think, when I’m talking about sustainable cities, it’s good when people start moving. Not only for the environment, but I feel like when people are moving around without using electricity, a city can live up immediately. Because it looks way better to see tons of people cycling (or using the Halfbike!) than seeing everyone driving their cars, right?

I would definitely buy one, you too? I’m curious!
