Hmm, you're wondering now, what has cycling got to do with Albert Einstein? You know, E=mc2? No? Aah, thank goodness for the wonderful World Wide Web, or if you must, the Internet. You can always Google 'Theory of Relativity' or E=mc2.

If you're not familiar with the Theory of Relativity or E=mc2, at least you must know or have heard of Albert Einstein. Apparently, he came up with the Theory of Relativity while riding a bicycle. If you do a Google search on this, you'd find various sources that imply that Einstein came up with that famous theory while riding a bicycle.

The point of us telling you this is that unlike other modes of transportation, cycling in the great outdoors can give inspiration to almost everyone. Sure, you can ride a train and have a moment of epiphany. "Eureka! I've thought of an idea on how to curb climate change!" Good for you, but please don't shout it in the train. We don't want people to stare at you. But unlike the train, riding on a bicycle gives you a complete sense of freedom, especially if you ride on a long road surrounded by the glorious bounty of nature.

So, go ahead, take that YTX Comp or Schwin or Oyama folding bike to a nice and quiet place with scenic views. You'll never know when inspiration could strike you, just as it did for Albert Einstein. And guess what? You can shout whatever idea comes to your head because there is practically no one to hear it except yourself :)
