Some people say that the bicycles are a good, modern means of transportation. Other say riding a bicycle has clear disadvantages. Discuss both view points and give your own opinion.
There is an opinion among some individuals that bicycles are an excellent and progressive mode of
transport
. Meanwhile, their opponents argue that this
transport
has some drawbacks. In this
essay, I will consider both sides of the argument and then
I will give my own opinion on the matter.
On the one side are those, who believe that a riding bicycle is beneficial for a human being and the society. This
is because this
type of transport
is environmentally friendly and highly effective for a person’s health. For instance
, there are no exhaust fumes emissions that have been produced by bicycles, while other means of transportation using gas engines emit pollutants into the environment. In terms of health, riding a bicycle is great for burning off calories and training a person’s heart in order to prevent cardiovascular diseases and maintaining weight.
On the other side, there are people who argue that using bicycles on a daily basis by the public is clearly disadvantageous. Firstly
, this
kind of transport
is suitable only for those who already are in good shape and do not have serious issues with health. Otherwise
trying to follow an upcoming trend a person might receive more harm than good. Secondly
, a bicycle is a very slow type of transportation and it is not practical to use by masses in a modern fast-paced world and long-distance travelling. To illustrate, it is typical for a modern citizen to live in one place and work in the other one. It is not possible to ride a bike from the countryside, for instance
, to the city centre on a daily basis.
In conclusion, having considered both sides of the argument, I think that both sides have their merits and there is no perfect mode of transport
for every living creature. Actually, what kind of transport
to prefer is a matter of personal choice and a situation.Submitted by mariya.vlassova on
