Ever felt the need to ride? Consider finding the motorcycle that's just right for you with help from Sky Powersports Lakeland, located in Lakeland, Florida, serving the Tampa and Orlando areas. And, if you're not completely sold on a bike, check out these top six reasons to change your mind. 

1. Commuting Is Easier 

By riding a motorcycle to work every day, you get a chance to take narrow roads and even off-road paths that you never could before. Some states and cities even allow motorcycles to use lane splitting, which involves taking up space in between lanes, putting you farther ahead of the crowd. You may even get to your job a few minutes earlier just by taking your motorcycle! 

2. Motorcycles Are Greener

Compared to other road vehicles, motorcycles burn much less fuel and let off fewer greenhouse gas emissions. They also are smaller and more compact, so factories that make motorcycles put off less waste making them than car manufacturers do making cars.

3. Motorcycles Improve Your Health

When you ride a motorcycle, you have to engage your body and brain more than you would sitting in the driver's seat of your car. You develop more leg muscle when you drive a motorcycle, and you tend to focus more on your surroundings, improving your brain cognition over time. 

4. Motorcycles Create Friendships

A lot of motorcycle riders form long-term friendships through riding motorcycles. Bike clubs exist for meeting other bikers in person and online, and many bikers choose riding partners or groups for long-distance rides. And, when you ride with someone else for a long time, you can develop a great friendship that lasts. 

5. Riding Is More Immersive

Motorcycle riders connect easily to nature and the world around them because riding a bike on an open road is an immersive experience. When you are inside a car, you don't always hear or see what's really around you, unless it's just a song on the radio. However, when you ride a bike, you have no windows to separate you from the outside, and you're bound to hear things like birds singing around every corner. 

6. Freedom Is at Your Fingertips

When you hop on a bike, you get a chance to drive wherever you want, regardless of what the roads look like. Off-roading is always possible, and distractions are nonexistent. Just think — you can't even try to use your cell phone while riding a motorcycle.
