 Bicycle　An Important Means of Transport in China

China is called the “kingdom of bicycles”, because there are thousands of millions of bicycles in China and bicycles are the most important means of transport in China.

Why are bicycles so popular in our country? On the one hand, its price fits for common people's income. For example, we only pay three hundred yuan for a quite good bicycle. On the other hand, lots of people go out by bicycles to avoid traffic jam. So bicycles save time and money for Chinese people. Furthermore, riding bicycles recommends an effective way to keep fit for those who work in offices and are lack of exercises.

Many believe that cars are much better than bicycles because cars are far more comfortable, and cars travel much faster and quite a longer distance than bicycles. But cars cause serious pollution as well. According to the present traffic condition, cars often slow down in crowded cities. Owning a car means spending a lot of money not only in buying it but also in keeping it. Sometimes we cannot even afford expensive gasoline. At night, we have to find places to park our cars. Compared with cars, bicycles are clean and cheap, convenient and easy to park.

Following the high speed of the development of China's economy, I think the number of bicycles may reduce, and that of cars may increase. But we must admit that a bicycle will still remain its important role in Chinese people's daily life because of its own advantages as well as China's special national condition.
