A Bike Versus A Car

There are many differences and similarities that bikes and cars share. Even though cars are more advanced and comfortable then bikes are, many people use them. Most people choose a car for transportation. Cars have many accessories that bikes do not have. For example; cars these days have anything from radios, cd players, and even navigational systems, which bikes don’t. It is impossible for a bike to have all these comfort features. Another major difference is that the car has a roof and windows to protect you from all kinds of weather. The bike on the other hand is not very protective against any type of weather. The car seats are way more comfortable then a bike’s.
A bike is somewhat similar to the car though. Bikes move just like a car does, on wheels. They both have some kind of way of controlling the direction of travel. They both also have lights for night time trips. The bike has a bell which is similar to the horn in a car. They are both used for transportation and carrying things. As you can see cars and bikes are somewhat alike, but they are also different. I would pick a bike over a car because it helps me to take care of my health on a regular basis by giving me exercise. Using this method of transportation is also much cheaper financially and it fits my budget. Hopefully, one day the economy will get better so affording a car will be much easier for me in my everyday

    Traveling by car allows for quick transportation allowing humans to survive longer in a zombie filled post apocalyptic world. A car can be used a storage for personal items and food or as a safe shelter if stranded. A car can act as a weapon while driving, which was exemplified in The Dawn of the Dead. A car is a basic necessity for life, although, a car powered by gas will not last long in a post apocalyptic setting.

    NYC Bikers vs. Range Rover

    On September 29, a “gang” of New York City bikers was having their annual pack ride known as the Hollywood Block Party on Manhattan’s West Side Highway. It all arose with a ‘hot-headed’ biker who thought he could be a tough guy, given he was with 30 other bikers, who then slowed down and made contact with Alexander Lien’s (the man inside of the Range Rover) SUV. After the preliminary happenstance, the bikers encircled the black Range Rover but instead of dwelling over what may happen, Lien assertively fled the site, rationally thinking about what was best for his wife and two-year-old child who were passengers in the car. As Lien fled the scene, he ran over biker Edwin “Jay” Mieses Jr. who is hospitalized with spinal and leg injuries. The biker’s, according to the video, caught up with Lien and his family until coming to a red light in which the Family had no choice but to stop. At this time, the bikers got off of their bikes and started dismantling the SUV with their helmets and what looked to be a weapon of some sort. Lien was taken out of the car and brutally beaten by about eight different bikers. Injuries include two black eyes, multiple cuts to his face (stiches necessary), and injuries to his hands, back, and right shoulder.…

    Palms sweating, heart racing, knees wobbling, mind spinning, and you’re frantically trying to take control. It’s your first set of wheels and they are just begging to be taken for a spin around the block. There’s just one itty bitty little problem: it’s your first time. It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s the first time you ride a bike or the first time you get behind the wheel of a car, the sensations can be enough to drive you wild.

    When I was younger my parents wouldn't buy me a dirt bike, at that time I thought they were being unreasonable and not looking after me. Obviously, now that i'm older I know exactly why they were scared of me riding a motorcycle. Riding a motorcycle is a dangerous activity and there is a high learning curve associated with it. Even though it went against my parent's better judgement. I saved my money and bought myself a dirtbike and later a street bike. The dirtbike involves going fast over rocks ruts and mud and riding on loose slippery surfaces. An accident in the middle of the desert or woods can turn deadly.

    Unfortunately, we live in a vehicle-dependent society. We use cars to get to and from our work, our schools, our friends and all basic amenities. We often don't think twice about taking our car one mile down the road instead of cycling or walking. More than that, to many, the car is a status symbol that defines out position in society. To ban the car completely from our society would be a huge shock and many people wouldn't like it.…
