In many countries, in most cities people want to drive a car because of its pace and convenience, while in other countries, bicycles are becoming more preferable rather than private cars as they are enviromently friendly. From my standpoint, the latter phenomenon is far better than the former one since it could sort out several problems, like traffic jams and air pollution.
There are a myriad of reasons why people in most cities prefer to drive a car. First and foremost, by the pace of cars, people can easily get their destination in a relatively small period of time, preventing the wasting of time on the road. In other words, the place where you can get in two or three hours with bikes can be gotten in half an hour. Moreover, it is such convenient to drive that you can use it without any physical efforts and under good conditions, and cars are able to contain more people in comparison to bicycles.
However, in my opinion, riding bicycles is a much more beneficial trend according to the facts below. By utilizing bikes, civilians could reduce the fume emitted by private vehicles, making a profound contribution to the green development. It is proved by scientists that the main contributor to air pollution in metropolises is a fume that is coming out from the cars.
Furthermore, the adoption of the habit of using bicycles in cities might eventually lead to the solving of one of the main problems in mega-cities – traffic congestion. It is undeniable that most users of private cars are commuters who use vehicles for only short lengths of roads, and if they start to use bike instead, it would have a double effect – both for city environment and health of riders themselves. Thus, riding a bicycle instead of cars is better than driving private cars.
To conclude, despite several facts in favour of vehicles, such as comfortability and their speed, i believe bikes are preferable due to their environmental and healthy impact on us.
