4.PEDALING PLEASURE !
- Discovering the world
Riding your bike for a stroll or a utilitarian trip marks a return to childhood, when you breathed freedom, and promises a new alternative to the world around you. An alternative focused on discovering the world and freedom of movement. There’s nothing more pleasant than getting on your bike to discover your neighborhood, the hidden paths and little wonders that surround you.

Cycling is also a great way to meet new people, whether on the bike paths or in a park when you’re taking a break. The occupation of public space by cyclists encourages encounters and socialization, and even greater civic involvement in neighborhood life 33.
Cycling also brings parents and children closer together 34. A bike ride is the perfect way to bond with your children.

These benefits are especially significant in our modern world dominated by automobiles, where walking alone in certain neighborhoods can be insecure and dangerous. In short, cycling allows the cyclist to connect with their environment, with others, and with themselves.
