Many people believe that cycling is a healthy and environmentally friendly mode of transport. However, it is still unpopular in many countries. What are the reasons? What could be done to encourage the use of bicycles among wider population?

Doing physical activities,

such

as cycling, regularly is vital to keep our bodies and minds healthy.

Although

this

sport

is one type of

such

helpful activity, in some countries it is still not so common. In

this

essay, I will discuss some reasons for

this

phenomenon,

such

as that cycling is not enough promoted by the

government

and the lack of equipped

roads

for it and will provide a few solutions like building appropriate

roads

and providing a bicycle share program, which can increase

this

sport

's popularity among people. Low use of bicycles,

first

of all, might be due to a few factors. One of them is that

government

does not make enough efforts to promote

this

type of

sport

among the population. If countries' authority institutions pay more attention and implement educational programs actively to alter people's mindsets, cycling would be definitely much more popular. Another crucial reason deterring

spread is the tremendous lack of well-equipped

roads

for cycling. In Korea,

for example

, cycling sportsmen have no other choice, but to do it on ordinary car

roads

and put at risk their own lives, which definitely affects the situation negatively. Few steps,

however

, may be taken in order to contribute to improving the issue. Proper

roads

for cycling,

to begin

with, are essential if we want to make

this

sport

extremely popular among people. Safe and high-quality

roads

, provided by the

government

, indeed, would help to grow

this

type of

sport

's popularity. One more effective way to improve the situation is by creating and implementing a bicycle-sharing program.

Such

programs,

for instance

, contributed to surging in bicycle use in Seoul city within the

last

seven years. In conclusion, certainly, cycling is a quite helpful way to stay healthy. In

this

essay, I explained, that shortage of equipped

roads

for

this

activity and the lack of its promotion by the

government

may deter its wide-spreading, and that properly equipped

roads

and bicycle-sharing programs may be good solutions to tackle

this

problem.
