After all, nobody is perfect, right? Bicycles, on the other hand, may seem like the \u201cperfect partners\u201d in comparison. Here are ten reasons why:<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. You get to call the shots \u2013 no more arguing about which restaurants to go to.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-137068\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/03\/marathon-bike-gif-food-2358803.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"408\" height=\"229\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. You are your bicycle\u2019s number one \u2013 a bicycle needs care and attention, but in return, you get to be its first priority.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-137061\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/03\/girls-riding-bikes.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. It\u2019s not always about your bicycle \u2013 a bicycle won\u2019t talk about itself all the time. Actually, it wouldn\u2019t mind if you wanted to talk about yourself and perhaps even share your feelings.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-137074\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/03\/giphy-3.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>4.

Your bicycle is always up for positive changes. If you want to adjust the brakes, it won\u2019t give you 10 reasons why its brakes should not be adjusted or complain about how you\u2019re always trying to change it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-137063\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/03\/giphy1.gif\" alt=\"giphy1\" width=\"320\" height=\"220\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Bicycles can be just as spontaneous as you.

Your bicycle doesn\u2019t snore and steal precious sleep time from you.

Bicycles give you as much space and time as you need for other areas of your life.
