The general public has a multitude of views about using a

bicycle

as a main form of

transportation

While

some

people

think that it is a good way to reduce the use of fossil fuel and alleviate the problem of air pollution, I believe there are strong evidence and reasons why the

bicycle

is not suitable to treat as a main

transportation

in the city. On one hand, one of the significant advantages of using a

bike

as the main

transportation

is that it is environmentally friendly. Currently, the air quality has been worsening and it is

due to

the increased number of private car drivers. As riding a

bike

does not burn any fossil fuels, it reduces the emission of greenhouse gases. The air quality in turn will be improved. Another advantage of travelling by

bike

is that it helps promote exercise and health. More and more

people

,especially the ones who are living in the city, have a sedentary lifestyle and they seldom exercise. They would rather glue their eyes to computer screens or mobile screens than participate in outdoor sports during their free time. Exercise on regular basis is essential to maintain our health and reduce the risk of different diseases

such

as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

Therefore

, if

people

travel by

bike

every day, their health will be improved.

On the other hand

, replacing other public transport with bicycles may lead to several problems. The first problem that pops into my mind is that the number of

road

accidents may increase. Riding a

bicycle

on a

road

is different from riding it in a park as a leisure activity. It requires advanced skills

such

as multi-tasking skills, quick decision-making skills and high attention to

road

safety. Just like driving a car, riding a

bicycle

road

without any training will be detrimental to other drivers and

pedestrian

Fix the agreement mistake

pedestrians

show examples

. Another problem that I can think of is that current community facilities are not well developed for

bike

users. After

people

travel to school and work by

bicycle

, they may need to find a place to park their bicycles.

However

, the number of parking areas for bicycles is limited and they are not enough to cater for the needs of a large group of cyclists. When

bike

users could not find a place to park their bikes, they would simply leave their bikes anywhere on the pedestrian roads and

this

may affect the tidiness of the city

as well as

the safety of the pedestrian. In conclusion,

although

using a

bike

as a main form of public

transportation

may bring a lot of advantages, I believe they would be outweighed by the disadvantages.

Computers and AI technology are increasingly used for online education. Can artificial intelligence enhance the learning experience? Is this a positive or negative development? (VMN)
In recent years, AI and computers have gradually evolved in learning online. It is the writer’s opinion that artificial intelligence provides faster and easier access to relevant materials than the traditional way, giving more conveniences in the learning experience; despite the fact that it can significantly decline the learners’ curiosity as well as easily make them get lost in that massive references’ space without a proper guide.
