Cycling as green hobby gaining popularity

Cycling seems to be the fashion of today.  They mostly cycle through scenic routes . They do that to keep fit and stay in a group. It's more of group recreational activities . We seldom see bikers doing it solo. Like anything else, bikers get hooked with the trends and fashion. Their striking attire/gear, the colourful bikes and the way they ferry their expensive bikes on cars,  can turn heads. And they will talk about the details, like roof mounting, rear mounting, tow bar mounting describing how they ferry bikes around.

Reading the following excerpt, will give some indication on close relationship between bikers and the bike business .

WHERE CYCLING was once a necessary form of transportation, now it is seen as a hip, environment-friendly hobby and a trend that bicycle shop owners are happy about. Pedalspot managing director Ben Tan agrees that the business these days is better than it has ever been in the last 10 years. Most of his customers cycle as a hobby and to exercise.“Being green is the trend now and cycling is an environment-friendly sport.
