A bicycle is one of the smartest ways bright college students travel. It might be challenging to save money without little income because you’re stuck studying. Thankfully, you can avoid a car and gas payment by using your bike. It’s faster than walking to class on campus, too. If you're looking for apartments for rent next semester, bring your bike to stay fit, save time, and cut cost.

Considering Your Bike When Looking for Apartments for Rent

1. Health

A regular workout will help you stay trim despite your changing diet. According to many sources, including Harvard Health Publishing, cycling is one of the most beneficial ways to get an aerobic workout. Unlike running, it is gentle to your joints, and it’s easier to fit into your schedule than a trip to the gym—pull out your bike whenever you need to go somewhere.

2. Convenience

When you bike, you'll never have to stop for gas, which is helpful on a tight student budget. You can also navigate narrow paths and alleys that a car can't, allowing you to travel across your college campus.

At the same time, you'll move much faster than you would on foot, and often spend less energy going the same distance, especially downhill.

Most public places and apartments for rent have bike parking out front or nearby, and your bike itself is a straightforward machine that is easy to maintain and repair. You can even save time if you have a dog at your apartment, and let them run alongside.

3. Cost

Biking is much less expensive than driving. You can save on gas every month by cycling to work, to school, or even to the grocery store with a basket or backpack. If you rely on a bike instead of a car for transportation, it will also be easier and cheaper to find an apartment, as you won't need to choose one that comes with a parking space.
