Nowadays, more and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for environment. Maybe that’s why there are 1,400 million bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads all over the world today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil (油)cost.
Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighborhood(附近地区)，you may find something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and enjoy exercise without polluting (污染)the environment. You don't even have to ride all the way.
Folding (折叠) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. You can put a folding bike in a box. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travelers.
