四川省自贡市田家炳中学2020-2021学年高一上学期英语12月月考(期末模拟)试卷
What's not to love about a bike? It's a good way of exercising for almost everyone in the family to enjoy and low-cost transportation that does no harm to the environment.
If you don't have a bike, you can easily get a very nice one from Craigslist, Ebay, or the local paper. You can also rent one from a local bike shop or bike-sharing sites like Spinlister. But if you have a little money to spend or special needs, you can go so far as to get a bamboo comfort cycle or solar-charged battery to get you up the hills without breaking a sweat. The electric bikes make bicycling accessible to more people than ever.
When the weather isn't too hot, it might be a good idea to take the bicycle for a ride as often as you can. Inactivity-related diseases are the number one killer in the United States. But by adding just 30 minutes of exercise to our day by bicycle, we can save an average of $544 per person per year in health costs.
Increasingly, cities are adding more and more bike lanes, and there are now bike paths in most suburban areas as well. If you live somewhere where you can go to work by bicycle, on top of the health savings, you will save tons of money on gas, parking and car repairing. And as an added benefit, bicyclists also save time during rush hour when they can actually out-pace cars in city areas according to at least one study.
Traveling by bikes also allows you to see the world in a different way. Biking is slower, and you can wave "hello" to a neighbor or halt whenever you want to look around at new things and explore. These days, slowing down and getting relaxed may be the most important benefits of all.
