Do you ever ride a bicycle?
I use my bike as main transportation. I try doing everything. I'll drive if it gets too far, transport things too heavy, or when it rains.
I feel really good about it! It's just a win-win situation in most cases. You pollute less, you get a decent workout from it which is healthy for you, and I always find it less stressful.
What do you use a bicycle for?
Bicycles are said to be the vehicle for a small planet. People from all walks of life, from small children to the elderly, use bicycles for short-distance shopping and commuting to work and school.
Bicycling is a good aerobic exercise, a form of cardio. cardio: 增强心肺功能的有氧运动
Would you say it's difficult to learn to ride a bicycle? ?
Confidence is the key. Don't worry about falling down. Learning to ride a bicycle is difficult and sometimes painful. But once mas- tered, we ride bicycles without much effort and forget the learning process.
Learning to ride a bicycle is difficult in the beginning as the mind tries to co-ordinate the limbs, maintain balance and process different visual and kinaesthetic perceptions.
Why do children enjoy riding bicycles?
They can enjoy the views on the road, it's much like window shopping except on bike.
To ride along with other kids on a sunny Saturday afternoon will be fun.
It's the only transportation tool for them in childhood.
Are bicycles popular in China? (or, in your hometown)
In countryside, bikes are called "a gift from God," "a two wheeled ambulance," "a running signboard" or "the iron horse". They are playing a significant role in such areas.
Bicycles are very popular in China. Almost every family in the city has two or three bicycles. During the rush hour, you can see that thousands of people -- man and woman, old and young -- ride their bicycles to work and study. That is why China is called “the kingdom of bicycles”.
What are the reasons why people ride bicycles?(= What are the advantages (or, benefits) of riding a bicycle?)
Bicycles are said to be the greatest vehicle ever invented by man. There are many reasons for bicycles' popularity.

* 4) Bicycles are cost-effective. The price of a bicycle is one hundredth of the price of a car. Bicycles do not need gasoline, and also they are tax-free.
* 5) Bicycles are affordable. Compared with cars, bicycles are far more affordable for the billions of poorer people in the world.
* 6) Bicycles are resource-effective. A bicycle, which weighs only about 17 kilograms, does not use much in the way of raw materials.
* 7) Both grown-ups and children can ride bicycles.
Would you say it's safe to ride a bicycle in the city (or, in China)?
It is about road safety issues. Frankly, sometimes the "near miss" is inevitable. near miss: 差一点发生（事故或灾难），这在很多需要安全操作的工业术语中常见，一般称之为NEAR-MISS报告.
Yes, China has bicycle lanes. Cars pay attention to bikes.
It depends on how you ride a bike. if you want it be safe, ride well away from the gutter and parked cars, don't ride on the pavement, look out for right-turning vehicles especially if they can't see you because you're sneaking up the inside of traffic. Wear a helmet. It'll protect you if you fall of a bicycle which is common whether you trip or get hit by a car.
Has the number of bicycle riders in China changed much in the past few years?
Yes, declined... coz many people bought cars even if they don't really need them... just have money and want to show off.
It has gone down and replaced by motorcycles and cars. Bikes are mostly used for recreation purposes.
It has increased a lot. Because riding a bicycle in the breeze is refreshing, and gives you the extra satisfaction of not using fossil fuels or emitting carbon dioxide. We hope this useful vehicle will play a more important role in society and bring happiness and comfort to many more people.
