Topic: Bicycle fit be the game changer (Read 291 times)

Hahaha, this your idea na partially better one sha, because many people fit use I'm as form of exercise to maintain fitness while eh dey also serve as transportation, but I believe say this idea go favour only those wey no go fit afford cost of transportation, because you no go expect say a business man wey leave for lagos go use bicycle reach Abuja when eh get urgent meeting there, how about those wey dey travel Inter state na bicycle dem go use they run im?
 The thing we fail to understand na be say when the demand for something dey very high the price go increase and If every body comes decide to buy bicycle the price fit increase from that 30k to 200k or more than, but one thing I like citizens of this our country na be say we dey quick adapt in times of hardship and that na why we dey always survive, if you notice some people done dey convert there generators from using fuel to gas wey dey cheaper and  from my research i hear say eh dey last longer, that one go tell you say for this our country people must always look for other alternatives to survive, maybe time done reach wey dem go start to build power stations for electric cars, and begin to consider am as another alternative since fuel no fit sustain us again due to the hike of em price.

Normally for Europe and the Western world na bicycle many people dey use go work and certain movement them. You can hardly differentiate the poor from the rich for that side and Dem no dey even use am as criteria to use judge who get money or who no get, unlike as the thing be for country side way be say if them see you own just bicycle Dem go say you na poor man.

At least make this fuel price and transport hikes try make us to live certain simple lifestyle wey we dey see for other continents Dem. And with bicycle na indirect daily exercise we all go dey do wen we dey paddle the bike as we dey go out with am. Smiles!

My brother, I been dey think say bicycle no cost until one dey I carry myself by myself waka enter where them dey repair bicycle go price one. E shock me when they tell me say na 15k for the one wey one of the leg no to go  well and untop of that, I go use like 5k take service am. So base on that,I feel say new one fit be 30k. No forget say ajebo bicycle wey cost 500k dey o. My brother levels dey for every every for 9ja joor.

Na in times like this way we go remember say, we been dey enjoy ior see better few years back. Na the things fall apart that the center can no longer hold way Chinua Achebe talk about we dey see like this. Anyway, the center still dey hold shah but, fuel go drop shah, e don be rumor way dey go round and no be say rumors Dey always come through but, the pump in price was rumored as well and e happen.

As we no get subsidy again and with every Nigerian living based on watin them fit afford or according to there standards, we go try dey understand the need to use watin we fit generate and regulate our things wella.

Bicycle no go change nothing. Most of us dey reason this thing with the idea of man for head. You don try picture watin woman wan look like on top bicycle through the streets dey go do office work? Abeg, make we leave this bicycle thing.

Who dey talk of say when fuel price go drop abi come down. This one no possible again because I remember even from president Goodluck Jonathan time when him first say him remove fuel subsidy and price rich 145 naira and him readjust back to 96 naira or so and from then Buhari enter carry price go 150 naira and since then, we know how the price don fly reach. My broda no think am oo, I never hear say fuel price go come down. Abi you dey talk of deregulation? Hmmm, deregulation dey only bring price down when things dey in place like refinery etc but government refinery is not working so make you zero your mind out of that .

What currency is that? 30k for bicycle? That's plenty. I bought mine for about $80 4 years ago and use it for 8-10 KM commutes. It's a basic single speed cycle — I heard geared bicycles require regular maintenance, and I hate maintaining things so settled with single speed.

Now, electric bicycles are trending, can purchase here for about $700, if one is satisfied with speed which tends to be 25-30 KM/hr, you get comfort of motorcycle (less or no peddling) with advantages of bicycle, i.e, saving environment, fuel costs, less maintenance.

Using bicycle to reach public transport and from there to your destination, saves huge.

Money wey I get na to take care of my family, and pay for expenses, no b for fuel wey de cost anyhow, we gats see food chop before we buy fuel ooh. The price of fuel no gree come down, na so so hardship we de face daily. No b lie OP talk, Bicycle go be the next concentration for Nigeria, because no b everything person go use bike or car, fuel de cost and the best way to saved ourselves na to do weytin go benefits presently. The worst thing be say, bicycles de even cost now, I no just know where this country de go ooh.

Op no be lie you talk, as e be na people wey keep bicycle inside house now don bring their bicycle outside come polish am dey use because the cost of fuel don become something else.

For my area now bicycle full street like this, atleast the bicycle go help else movements and save costs till when the fuel price go come down. Even me wey dey here sef if I get small money, I dey think of to buy one small bicycle too wey I go dey use till when the fuel price go come down, I can't come and kill myself....

Wetin you mean by bicycle get levels? Make wuna no carry competition come everything o, bicycle na bicycle and make wuna regard am as one. Na as dem dey differentiate am, na him the prices go come dey hike dey go.
And no be everybody fit still afford bicycle as their pocket reach o. That amount you put for bicycle ba, person fit dey use am for Transport or fuel and dem no go still feel anything about am. Everything na choice sha.


Dis na very good advantage of using bicycle amidst dis fuel price hike wey we dey face currently for the country. But to get a more sustainable and risk free road while using bicycle, the government needs to make provision for alternate route for bicycles to only ply on. They can’t be allowed here because of the express roads which pose a lot of danger to them.

The use of Bicycle go reduce the rate we de spend on fuel but if you check am well, we need our cars, them fast pass Bicycle, oyan make we use this illustration, what if rain de fall and we get somewhere wey sharp, weytin we go do? Shey na Bicycle we go use or car, ofcourse na car. Make we just pray make the country better. Bicycles goes well for big cities or better flourished estates for the country, like Lekki Estate or Banana Island, these two place too go well for Bicycle movement. Bicycle still sharp for the movement, because fuel de cost wella for the country. We need to provide solutions to our problems ASAP.

I don for ones reason how to get bicycle for myself some time ago but each time I remember the kind bad road wey we get and the way drivers d take drive their motor d make me slack back not to buy bicycle for myself. If not that, I for buy bicycle long ago because peso don tire to the spend up to 1k for small movement wey em d take to d go work tro and from each passing day. How much wey dem the pay peso set? To spend wetin no good for transport

I don't think that's the case. People are not shame of getting bicycles for themselves. What they are only afraid of is bad road, accident, the distance they will cover to get to their destinations. If no be that you for see people getting beautiful bicycles for themselves due to the high rise in transportation wey dem d spend for transport.

Belike you no know the country wey you dey if bicycle begin dey get demand just watch as price go boost like fuel price. No be dis country wey person before fit dey buy corrola car for like 800k  or 1 million but as boarder close and bot and Uber begin popular na so corrola jump to lik 3.5 million before you fit get direct Belgium wey go dey alright for you to use without any complain dem. If bicycle become they way forward, the average Nigeria still no go fit afford am as people no go wan buy the old version na the latest ones people go wan dey buy and na so dem go use price wan kill us. This country na from pot to fire, e go hard before something good go happen for the economy of this country.

And this one no be we getting the right president solution because e come dey belike those guys no get say self because of the way the country dey. If tinubu know say him no go fit use our subsidy money do better things wey go better this country make him bring back the subsidy oh before people go die finish because e no easy again. I dey hear self say dey wan increase the fuel again go like 700naira per liter. If dat one happen e mean say 1k no far again and e no go easy for everyone because no matter your means of transportation, e go still reach you either when you wan buy fuel for your car or pay transport go work.

If you check Jiji now, the average price of new bicycle don pass 200k, so e no be as cheap as people dey think. Secondly, if you consider the type of road wey dey my house, plenty plenty bumps wey dey make am hard to ride bicycle on the same road with motor, I no go advise anybody wey care about im life to try am.

Abeg which kind God u dey serve way u dey use a whole 30k buy just fairly used bicycle? How much be new 1?Na still this era? Bcos even back in the days 30k no b small money.  Where me dey direct to na how u dey belittle 30k cuz na most people salary's 😆. Abeg make we no go dey linger talking of economy and government system cuz of this 30k oh.

As for bicycle to dey economical and less risk of accident, na true talk but if u still want dey among the bigger boys/girls bicycle owners for cities e gets to be auto-bicycle way no get Pedal if not dem go dey look u outdated or say  u like suffer and this kind mentality na 9ja e dey cuz I dey aware of where Israel classifies bicycle where e be say even the riches dey cruise with am.

Truly bicycle na better mobility cuz e dey cheaper, less accident occurrence.

Who else ever think of bicycle being the fastest  mobility bcos the speed dey unlimited so the faster you spin and paddle na the more speed e moves no be like Okada's, Motor's, Aeroplane's and others way get limited speed 🤗

You just dey talk like my elder brother wey be your namesake... him sabi book like winch. Wetin sweet me for this your comment be say you agree say bicycle get good side and oyibo dey use am too. One thing I wan put inside this talk be say, if plenty people don dey use bicycle for naija you go see say awareness go start and na so e go take catch government attention to put am for consideration when constructing roads and other infrastructures.  Naija strong sha but wey go dey ok one day.

Op, this one na very funny one. The suggestion no bad at all especially dis kind time wey we find ourselves for we country. But bicycle get im own pros and cons, and de cons outweighs de pros especially wen u dey for big city. You no go fit dress well con use bicycle go work because de distance to your work place fit dey very far and e go take you longer time to reach, also sweat go mess your clothes. Most people wey dey ride bicycles dey expose, no helmet, no elbow and knee guards and if accident happen, de person fit loss him life or sustain serious injuries. Dis suggestions come handy for people wey dey villages and less busy cities.

Op your suggestion no bad ooo, seriously bicycle can really be game charger on this Mata of fuel cost wen we dey so.this cost of fuel really affected  many people because the cost of transportation is now high and the worker payment rate for this our country is very low, image person they collect fifty thousand naira as salary every month and e kon dey use 500 naira per day for transport  before, now when transport done do 2x e will kon they use 1000 naira,how much d person go get remain.now if this person can get a bicycle the expensive go reduce but the main problem be say riding bicycle to work no be easy thing despite say na part of exercise, person go weak when it get to place work,the clothes go also wet because e go sweat.

(OP) this post really get much sense but no still get sence,
Imagine place like ABJ all most all the areas fall for which other so you mean say! person go clamp bicycle like small pinkin come dey ride on top mak I tell u something u dey only talk about this because of poverty wen hold us ohhh
If not were person one go with bicycle. See look am form my own point of view how many speed I wan use speed before I go work and also with this type of bad roads e be like say body ever pain u before, I bet u if u com back form work you most take drugs first before you get ur self back for that day

We no doubt say oyibo dey use bicycle take do their kind of shuttle movement but those places their government do road well wey dey give everyone ease of movement. If you want use bicycle there you dey sure say no tricycle or motor go hit you on to say every one get their lane but for naija e no be the same thing.. The challenge for this country full truck remain. Even some west African countries self organise pass naija, I no even talk of South and East Africa.

My brother no look am only in the angle of poverty. Make you consider the health benefit too. Even for Oyibo country like Netherlands, Bicycle plenty wella and even people wey chop belle full dey use am with pride. E go even shock you  to know say every person inside the Netherlands get at least two bicycle according to this article: https://www.hollandcyclingroutes.com/
