It is ... very cheap to use ... of course it doesn’t need any fuel. In fact, it costs practically nothing ... you’ve bought it. It... helps keep you fit... you get exercise ... you ride it. Another good thing about a bicycle is ... it doesn’t pollute the air. ... everyone rode bicycles instead of driving cars, we wouldn’t be using up the world's oil so quickly.

Another problem is ... the cyclist is not protected from the weather and gets wet... it rains. Cycling isn’t very nice in heavy traffic .... In Britain there are very few cycle paths, ... bicycles have to share the road with cars and lorries. The best place for a bike ride is a quiet country lane. Main roads and city streets are often ... busy ... it needs some courage to take a bike on them. The cyclist has no protection, and ... he is more likely than a motorist to be seriously hurt... killed ... he does have an accident. Cycling keeps you healthy, ... the cars may kill you!
