More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment.

Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads  worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!

Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighbourhood. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out  of your car. You  can  bike  to  work  and  benefit  (受益)  from  the  enjoyable  exercise  without  polluting  the environment. You don’t even have to  ride all the way.

Folding (折疊) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travellers.
