Cycling is more environmentally friendly than other forms of transport. However, it is longer the main form of transport. What are the reasons? What could be done to encourage the use of bicycles among the wider population?

Travelling by
bike
 is environmentally friendly but it is still not the main form of
transport
. I will show you an explanation of
this
 and suggest some activities to encourage the use of bicycles among the wider population. The first reason that can be easily seen is that cycling takes more time than any other vehicle. For an average distance
such
 as from home to school, students often prefer to get to school by bus or motorbike rather than riding a
bike
 because it takes less time when using a motorbike or public
transport
 so they can get up later.
Secondly
, the bicycle is only a short-distance
transport
. We can hardly ride a
bike
 for a distance like 10km to work so the bicycle is very inconvenient.
Moreover
,
along with
 the development of technology, people can have a electrical
bike
 and that causes bikes to become more unuseful. So what should we do to improve the consumption of bicycles?
Although
 the electrical
bike
 is still environmentally friendly, its accumulation is harmful to the environment when it is discarded.
According to
this
, the bicycle is still the most environmentally friendly
transport
. The best way for encouraging more people to use bikes is to limit motor vehicles in society. In China, the government tax very high on people who have cars and prevent them from having many cars. In conclusion, cycling can hardly be the main
transport
 because of many reasons. But we should encourage using bicycles if they have opportunities.
