If you go to London you will see a lot of buses and cars on the road. You’ll also see lots of bikes because more and more people travel by bike. Why?

There are a lot of reasons for this. First, it is very cheap to buy a bike. And then people have to wait for a bus for half an hour. Finally, after you get on the bus, there are so many other buses and cars on the road that the bus moves very slowly.

I traveled to work by bus for about four years. l often arrived at work late and felt tired. Then one day, about two years ago, a friend of mine said, “I go to work by bike every day. Please come and join me.” “But my bike is old, and there are so many buses and cars on the road. I’ll feel frightened.” I answered. “You needn’t feel afraid. If you follow me and we ride slowly, you will be fine,” he said.

The next day I bought a new bike. Although we went slowly, we arrived at work soon. It took 40 minutes to go to work by bus, but only half an hour by bike.

Now I like riding a bike to work. I ride very slowly but I arrive at work quickly. I’ve saved a little money and I feel healthy. Many people think my idea is good and maybe you can see more bikes on the roads in London.
