Some countries spend a lot of money to make bicycle usage easier. Why is this? Is this the best solution to traffic congestion?

Countries across the world have been investing heavily in providing easier

bicycle

access. It seems, the rise is to develop a clean and pollution free environment.

Whereas

considering

this

mode a best way to deal with

traffic

problem is ineffective. The

Bicycle

has been a popular mode of travelling for ages. It is because, neither it needs electrical power, nor fossil fuel to operate.

Therefore

, it is understandable that it is a pollution free mean of travelling. So, the authorities have been making specific

bicycle

lanes for people.

In addition

, unlike other transportations,

bicycle

is easily affordable for the masses.

Thus

, the bicycling is being promoted for several advantages.

Although

the

bicycle

is conducive in controlling pollution, it is not a solution to control

traffic

congestion.

This

has a couple of reasons: a slowest mode of commuting and accessible up to a limited radius. So, it is easily surpassed by faster channels of private transportation: cars, motorbikes and trams, which cause over crowded roads. Though, encouraging people to use more and more public transportation can be a possible solution. Not only will

this

reduce the number of vehicles on roads, but

also

lessen air contamination.

Consequently

, education regarding environmental issues by transportation is more crucial to eliminate excessive

traffic

congestion.

To conclude

,

while

much attention is paid to easy bicycling access for the public, yet it can not control

traffic

congestion which can be dealt by making people aware of the consequences and benefits.
