There are contrasting viewpoints about which transport is better to utilize in cities. While some individuals argue that bicycles are more beneficial to travel around the city, I firmly believe that cars are much more convenient.
On the one hand, some people claim that bicycles are more appropriate mode of transport to be used to commute in cities. Firstly, this can be explained by exercising while riding, so cycling is considered to be an easy and enjoyable way to keep fit. For example, cycling could be advantageous for those who work in a seated position, such as office workers. Sedentary lifestyle patterns deteriorate people’s health, because the lack of activities and muscles causes a lot of diseases, including back pain and poor mental health. Therefore, commuting to the workplace by bicycle, thus adopt an everyday activity, might be a healthy decision. Secondly, cycling is an environmentally friendly option, due to the absence of a motor, which produces carbon emissions. It helps to save our planet, which has become a major issue in the present.
On the other hand, I share the view of those who believe that cars are more efficient mean of transport. One of the reasons is that travelling by car is more time effective, than commuting by bicycle. This is because bicycles’ speed is nowhere near as fast as cars’. Hence, people can spend more time with their families and build strong family bonds, which is crucial in my opinion. Another reason is that cars have a lot of place to stock your belongings to transfer. A 2021 study by a city council of 1,200 commuters revealed that around one in three of individuals travel around the city with heavy bags; thus cars are the best option available, because it does not require any effort to transport things, unlike bicycles.
In conclusion, although some people choose bicycles for some reasons, including exercising and ecological aspects, I believe that cars are more convenient option, due to the high speed and its capacity. People should be more considerate about their time spending.
