Nowadays people use bicycles less as a form of transport. Why is this the case? What can we do to encourage people to use bicycles more?

Notwithstanding a number of benefits that cycling brought about, there has been a prevalent trend that the public use bikes to commute less.

This

trend could be ascribed for a few reasons and should be addressed by some definite measures. There are evident causes that lead to the resistance of residents about choosing

bicycles

as a means of

transport

on a daily basis. From a social perspective, in recent decades, the public has witnessed an explosion in the automobile industry which brings about faster and more convenient cars and motorbikes and

thus

results in a surge in demands for

this

kind of

transport

to optimize their time.

For example

, a person who spends 15 minutes driving to work can do more various tasks in the morning,

such

as doing morning exercises, cooking breakfast by themselves, setting up a timeline and so on, than the other opting for a 45-minute-walk. When it comes to safety,

this

trend is attributed to

motor vehicles. To explain, many countries in the world, both developed and developing places, do not invest in building dedicated cycling paths that can prevent bicyclists from dangerous practices. A number of solutions could be adopted to tackle the problems associated with

people's transportation habits. The primary solution is that the government should allocate more budget to the construction of cycling paths to secure citizens from accidents. When psychological obstacles are rejected, residents will feel relaxed and use

bicycles

more often. Another solution is that the tax on heavy motorcycles should be increased. From an economical point of view, the more pressure on their own budget, the less frequently individuals use these modes of

transport

.

Therefore

, the need to switch to

bicycles

that are much cheaper. In conclusion, the unpopularity of

bicycles

results from the appearance of more modern types of

transport

and the scarcity of

bicycles

lanes, so strong remedies should be adopted to curb

this

situation. It is predicted that unless these measures are implemented, the problem associated with the less usage of

bicycles

will continue to persist in the future.
