These trend in transportation preferences across different nations, where bicycles are becoming more popular in some regions, while private vehicles remain dominant, can be attributed to a combination of infrastructural, economic, cultural. In my view, this is a positive development because this help solve some environment issues, including air and noise pollution.
The main reason why in some nations people prefer cycling, while in other choose private transport, is because of incomplete infrastructure. For instance in big cities, driving is inconvenience because streets are overcrowded, roads are congestion. As a result, Individuals use it as a substitute for personal transport. Moreover, it is useful for health. However, in smaller cities, where transportation systems are fail to meet the needs of the population, made citizen rely on private car.
Nevertheless, I believe that it a positive development because it may be reduce risk of enviromental problems such as global climate change. Using bikes contrubute to create better air qualitty.First, there will limit the gas emmissons that recover planet atmosphere and temperature. As a result, this can stop melting ice in the pole or loss of biodivesity. In this way, citizens can improve both their health and protect the enviroment.
In conclusion, while in some areas of the world cycling is replacing by cars, others, we can see a opposite pictures due to non-effective urbanization. I think it would be sustainble development because it can solvee some sevrious problems like sea level rise and cotaminated air.
