Bicycle is a convenient means of transporation. It has been very popular China. During the rush hours, particularly in big cities, you can often see a sea of bicycle riders in the streets, people can ride bicycle to their working places, to schools, to shopping centers and so on. In a word, bicycles play an important role in daily life.

Compared with cars, bicycles have many advantages. Firstly, they are not so expensive as cars and almost every family can afford to and repair them. Secondly, riding bicycle is a healthy form of exercise. They do gad to our health. Thirdly, bicycles can save energy and does not cause any pollution, while cars will cause serious air pollution, which makes the air in our living place very dirty and makes a lot of people suffer from lung cancer. As we all know, China is a country with a large population. If each family has a car, a large amount of energy would be wasted and air pollution would become more and more serious. Finally, most Chinese people don’t live far away from where they work or study, it is convenient to ride bicycle. I think that is why bicycles are used so much.

Bicycles are so popular in China that China is often referred to as the kingdom of bicycles. I hope more and more people can ride bicycles in order to make our planet and cleaner.
