2. You get to breathe fresh air

Unless you invest in shoes or a backpack. But it’s still cheaper than any other
sport.

7. You save time
Running from A to B compared to what it takes with traffic jam, finding
parking, gas station visits, car wash, service, whatever, etc isn’t that time consuming
after all + plus you get exercise and don’t have to make time for stiff gym visits.

way.
