It’s kind of trendy that people ride bikes all the time in their daily life in Canada and Japan.

Firstly, it seems the most common way to exercise is to ride a bike in Canada.You can see everywhere from kids to seniors who ride bikes to keep healthy. In the summertime, my family enjoy riding bikes near the sunny beach. It’s amazing!

Secondly, most moms in Japan ride bikes which have a back seat for their young kids whenever they go to the store or pick their kids from school. I used to ride a bike with my son sitting in the back seat. It’s kind of one of my good memories.

Thirdly, you can go anywhere you want to go with no fee if you ride a bike and also an easy, simple way to keep healthy in your daily life.

I think that’s why riding a bike became a part of the culture in Canada and Japan.
