Ciclodrezina sau Velodrezina: o solutie inteligenta, extraordinara si simpatica!
De ce sa lasam vechile sine de mocanita sa rugineasca, de ce sa lasam balariile si ciulinii sa ingroape terasamanetele acelor romantice trenulete care au fost duse la fier vechi?
De ce sa nu incurajam cicloturismul, in toate formele sale inedite? De ce sa nu vizitam frumusetile naturii din interiorul arcului carpatin, calare pe o fantastica ciclodrezina, acest magarus al bicicletelor pur sange!
Iata: doua biciclete fara roti, patru roti de vagonet, o platforma si doua banchete pe care pot sta pasagerii in timp ce pasionatii de pedalaj dau din picioare mai eficient ca la sala, unde bicicletele medicinale nu ofera peisaje, nu ofera aer curat, nu ofera emotii. Hai sa facem o schimbare: networking, socializing in mijlocul naturii. Faceti sedinta de grup in mijlocul naturii
Avem schimbatoare de viteza, sei Brooks din piele (!!), iar daca doriti, va instalam si frapiera pentru un vin rece!
Sa luam pozitie in fata autoritatilor, in favoarea mersului cu bicicleta!
Sa demonstram ca bicicleta este unul dintre cele mai inteligente mijloace de deplasare!
Sa invatam ca mersul pe doua roti insanatoseste, iar mersul pe patru roti imbolnaveste!
