In some cities in the world, cars are replacing bicycles. In other cities, however, people are choosing to ride bicycles rather than to drive cars. What are the reasons for these developments? Which development do you think is better?

There are numerous reasons why in some cities society chooses to ride a bicycle,

while

in other places they prefer to

drive

a car. In

this

essay, we will see the reasons behind why

such

differences in preference and

thus

come up with a reasoned conclusion.

Firstly

, one of the main reasons can be the infrastructure of the city. Sometimes it is more suitable for cars to trip around and does not cause traffic conjunctions,

while

, it is suggested to be more beneficial to use a bike around to avoid the busy city roads.

For example

, in Holland where the streets are narrow, it is advised to ride a bike around, rather than using a four-wheeler.

On the other hand

, in cities like New York, Melbourne, and Paris, it is more convenient to take a taxi or trip your own car, because the office and home can be of significant distance.

Therefore

, it would be easy to pick based on the way the road and the city are designed.

Furthermore

, sometimes it is a personal preference. Where for many individuals being healthy and doing exercise is of great importance,

as a result

, they like to take a bike to work or home.

This

also

helps them to save the cost of petrol and parking fees, which is sometimes not only beneficial but necessary.

While

for some it is a matter of convenience, in order to save time they like to

drive

from work to house or vice-versa.

For instance

, I live in the Melbourne suburbs, and my office is an hour's

drive

from home,

therefore

I choose to

drive

to work. It is hard to ignore the benefits of either of the two. In conclusion, switching from cars to bicycles is not just beneficial for individuals but

also

necessary to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions from our atmosphere,

hence

, reducing pollution in the air.
