More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!
Get on a bicycle and ride around your community. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can ride bikes to work and benefit (受益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting 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. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. 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 travellers.

I am used to walking home after school. One day, on my way home, I saw Xu Dong standing on the other side of the road. He was carrying a lot of books. I thought he must be a real nerd. As I went on walking, suddenly I saw several children running into Xu Dong. They were knocking his books out of his arms. They were pushing him so that he fell to the ground. I ran over to help him at once. As I was picking up his books, I saw tears in his eyes. I had to comfort him when I helped him stand up, I said, “The children are very naughty.” There was a smile on his face. And then he looked at me and said, “Thank you very much.”
