Whenever I moved to a new
city, the first thing I did was to hire a bicycle. Why? You travel much faster than on foot and you notice so much more
of your surroundings than when in a bus or a car. It's more appealing to wander
down small streets if they seem interesting, as you can quickly get back to the
main road. Besides, I soon discovered more benefits of cycling.
A bicycle means that fewer
places, especially in a small city like the one where I live now, feel far
away. For example, cycling to work takes me half the time that it would to
walk,
Of course, there are
obvious health benefits of cycling — a bit of extra movement as part of your
daily routine can help you keep fit and healthy. Cycling on my way to work also
makes me feel more energetic in the mornings.
While cars pollute the
environment,bicycles are carbon neutral
(碳平衡的). Furthermore, thanks to being petrol-free,
bicycles are cheaper to run, buy and fix than cars. Even if you don't own a car,a bicycle can pay for itself when compared to the price of bus
tickets.
Always wear a helmet, pay
attention to other traffic and don't forget your lights at night. Make sure you
know the road rules, especially in a new place. Some cities are more
bicycle-friendly than others. Luckily, where I live now
is quite easy to ride a bicycle around, thanks to having lots of cycle lanes
and not too many hills!
