In today’s world, bicycles become less trendy than it’s used to be. We will discuss primary causes of this problem broadly and find some viable solutions.
When it comes to transport, most people choose automatic vehicles over bicycles because of their comfort and efficiency in long distances. This is because they are more stable, more reliable and also capable of carrying more people while travelling. In example, we can state that almost nobody chooses bicycle when going for a trip from city A to city B. This situation leads to massive traffics and road problems which is really irritating.
The most effective solution for this case is to make bicycles and maintenance fees cheaper and more affordable. Average road bicycle costs minimum 1500 to 3000 euros in most European countries. For adults, it can be somehow affordable, but when it comes to students and teenagers which are mostly unemployed, it’s a big deal to spend that much money. We can think that even after reducing costs cars are still good choice for transport, but traffic-free and stress-free driving experience worth to give it a shot. We can also talk about bicycle road lines. Most Asian countries lack bicycle lines in roads.
Although, bicycles are not as comfortable and capable as other vehicles, they are still good option for daily transport. In conclusion, while comfort and costs are the main driver of this issue, implementing affordable prices to the market and also making more bicycle lines will increase the number of cyclers worldwide.
