So here's the thing. The situation now with the pandemic isn't getting any better. There are more and more people being infected with the virus and sadly, a lot of people died all around the world. In The Netherlands, there are now more than 18, 000 people tested positive and more than a thousand died. In my country in The Philippines, there are more than three thousand positive cases and a hundred deaths. This is why people are advised to stay at their own homes, avoid social gatherings and keep distance of 6 feet or 1.5 meters.
And since the number of positive cases is increasing, we still don't know what lies ahead. The government here has not implemented any lockdown to prevent huge jump of economic loss. Anyhow, we still are told to be prepared by any means.
That is one of the reasons why I needed to have a bicycle myself. If ever there'll be things in the future that we cannot use any fuel-automated vehicles, at least we have each our own means of transportation. Another reason is, I am integrating myself into the Dutch system so I needed to learn and have one myself.
