Hi @nowonline! 👋 I don't think we've met before, thanks for commenting on my post. Yeah it's a pretty sweet deal, though since I'm also a dad it has to take balance to spend time with family as well as fitness lol.
Beside the personal goal of minimizing our carbon foot prints, we're doing our best to be an example to others to both get in shape and use their bodies. As well as cut down on all the traffic pollution clogging up our city. Though I have to say, the bicycle messenger community is also a huge "thing" that I didn't know about before. Some really cool people out there in cities all over the world.
That makes me think how is it in your part of the world? And I ask nervously as I'm not fully up to date on your country at the moment.. you know since things started getting stressful there.
Well, in my country is a little complicated to go everyhwere on a bicycle, but , of course there are some groups that make it in a safe way, on daylight, in groups.
People learn how to manage to fullfil their need of exercise and healthy life, so don't worry about that!
Yeah I guess so. Though I'm interested about the problems of the economy from your perspective, since you know all we see from the news is not always accurate right?
At least riding is one thing that would grow and also benefit people when they are living more mindfully right? So at least in one more way it can be seen as a benefit to ride.
Oh my God, economy. Totally crazy. We're living with an estimated inflation value bigger than 1000%.
Zero possibilities of having any saving, here, you are saving by buying whatever you need TODAY, because tomorrow it will have a higher cost. So, to "save" you need to buy, as quickly as you can.
If, you have money after that ( buy what you're going to need), then, the smart thing to do is buy dollars or euros ( something that is prohibited by the government) , keeping money at the bank is the biggest mistake here, because every day you will have less money. Do you get what I mean?
Ah so it is true what I saw. I do get a feel for what you mean, though I can only imagine what it is like. From the local perspective it must be quite stressful for you and a lot of people no? I hope this time can bring communities together and that you and your family have good people around you? Hopefully there can be a fresh focus on growing food sustainability and becoming self-sufficient from the state beyond this crazy financial situation?
