I enjoy riding to work now
When Legit.ng contacted Chijioke to know how the bike has affected his commute time, he said he now gets to work an hour earlier than usual.

He said:
"Commute time has been reduced by one hour. I wake up by 6:30, then I get dressed. 6:54 or 6:50 is usually my commute time. I get to work by 8'oclock, sometimes past 8.
That was before the bike. Now, with his new Honda Ruckus bike, he gets to work by 7:30, and it saves him time and the stress of joining commercial buses.
In an earlier Facebook post, Chijioke wrote:
"So, I got the Honda Ruckus. And commuting to work just feels better. The breeze against your face. The adrenaline rush.
"The super alertness because any thing can happen to you, and you'd be paying with bones and perhaps your life.
"Why? You see, this Lagos hold up respects nobody. Neither God nor Man. But I think it respects my Honda Ruckus. And I'm slightly happier. And I thank God."
Nigerian man says he wants to ride from Lagos to London
In a related story, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian man showed off a bike online, saying he wants to use it to ride from Lagos to London.
The man said he was inspired by Kunle Adeyanju who rode a bike from London to Lagos.
Nigerians on social media warned the man that he may not be able to complete the journey, especially as his bike was of a low standard.
