Cycling is more environmentally friendly than other forms of transport. Why
is it not popular in many places? How can its popularity be increased?
It is obvious that commuting via bike is more eco-friendly than other private
vehicles. However, this means of transport is still gain less popularity. There are
a number of reasons behind this point of views and several solutions should be
proposed to make the bicycle a more popular means of transport.
There are a variety of reasons why commuters are less likely to use bicycles. One
reason is that it is generally less convenient for journeys by cycling than travelling
by car or motor. Nowadays, almost all people have busy and stressful lives and
they are always in a hurry whereas bicycle takes them a lot of time to move from
their house to workplace or school and return. In addition, they might be as wet as
a drowned rat due to/ because of perspiration or precipitation if they come to the
workplace by bike. Another reason for the unpopularity of bike stems from the
anxiety about traffic accidents due to the rising volume of various vehicles. In big
cities, the population is too crowded and traffic congestion occurs daily, so it is
difficult to create a private lane for cycling. Therefore, others vehicles being on
the same road such as cars, trucks, motors pose an imminent threat to the security
of cyclist.
However, measures should be taken by governments and employers to increase the
number of people using bikes to travel. Firstly, the government should raise
citizens’ awareness of benefits of cycling through various media campaigns.
Besides, factories or offices should provide changing facilities and hot shower for
employees arriving wet by bike. Furthermore, authorities may discourage
motorists from using their cars or motorbikes by imposing congestion charges that
would help to reduce the volume of vehicles circulating on roads, then more cycle
lanes would be constructed. As a result, these will keep cyclists safer and speed
up their journey times.
In conclusion, it seems to me that prominently presented causes and solutions
above would make the increase of cyclists be possible, especially for short trips.
