#4. It’s romantic

In Vietnam, it’s always a romantic scene of a couple on a bike on their date. It’s not too slow to get to the destination, but not too fast to interrupt your talk. However, they should ride in the countryside or at the time of low traffic. Otherwise, it could be a disaster.

#8. Time-saving on traveling

With a bike, you can go further three times than walking with the same effort of time and energy. I believe on a trip; you always want to see as much as you can while saving your energy for other stuff at the destination. It is like you can are eating baguette, spring rolls, and noodle at the same time.

#9.  Make you look younger
