M: Hi, Ellen! Is this your new bike?

W: Yes, I bought it yesterday.

M: It’s cool! May I have a try?

W: Of course. Remember to ride on the left.

M: Oh, I think it’ll take me some time to get used to it. You know, in my country, we should drive, ride and walk on the right.

W: Well, it could be dangerous if you break the rules.

M: OK, I see. By the way, why do so many people travel by bike in Cambridge?

W: You see, Cambridge City is small and flat. Besides, the colleges of Cambridge University spread around every corner of the city. Riding a bike between lectures is convenient.

M: And it is also environmentally friendly.

W: That’s right. Since riding a bike is the most common way, there are a lot of riding regulations.

M: For example?

W: People under 18 or above 60 should wear a helmet when they ride, and a bike should be equipped with two lights. A little troublesome, but it’s safe.

M: I agree. I have noticed that people just leave their bikes casually.

W: Yes. That’s why many bikes have been stolen.

M: Then you should remember to lock your bike.

W: I will.
