In certain countries, the number of people who use bicycles as the main means of transport is decreasing even though it is beneficial both physically and environmentally. What can be the reasons for this change in preference? How can people be encouraged to use bicycles? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
There have been significant advantages of using bicycles for both environments
as well as
health but still, there has been a downward trend of people using it as a preferred means of commutation. In my opinion, one reason is the time required to reach a destination using it and the other is safety concerns. In Linking Words
this
essay, we are going to discuss some issues and possible solutions.

Firstly
, riding a bicycle takes a much longer time compared to using other available means of transport Linking Words
such
as a bus, train or car. Linking Words
While
the public has limited time, bicycles make them much slower to reach a destination Linking Words
therefore
they choose more convenient and faster ways of transportation. Linking Words
However
, there can be ways to deal with it Linking Words
such
as using e-bikes, which are not only faster but Linking Words
also
consume less effort if travelling long distances. Linking Words
For instance
, Google offices use e-bikes to travel from one place to another within the campus, encouraging them to start using bicycles for health and environmental benefits. Linking Words
Hence
it is important that the system should back everyone from using it.

Secondly
, riding a bike on a street can be dangerous and the number of accidents has increased in the past few years including fatal ones. Even though bike riding is good for health and nature, it can be dangerous from a personal safety point of view and one should learn all rules before riding on a road. In a recent survey, it is found that a lot of new riders met road accidents. Linking Words
Nonetheless
, these can be avoided, if people start following some safety rules Linking Words
such
as wearing helmets, and guards, and riding on the suggested tracks Linking Words
instead
of a busy road. That's how society will feel safer when riding a bike.
In conclusion, Linking Words
although
people are ignoring the benefits of using a bicycle, it can be fun, economical and environmentally friendly if supported by everyone. Linking Words
Additionally
, they should be encouraged to take up lessons which will enable them to rely on Linking Words
this
means of transport.Linking Words
