Some people think riding bicycles isn't popular. They aren't interested in it. So less and less people ride bicycles in the city. Nowadays some office workers usually go to work by car. Most students take the bus or the subway to go to school.

But I don't think so. I think riding bicycles is good for my health. It has many benefits（益处）.Firstly, when I am riding a bicycle, my whole body is exercising all the time. It is a good way to keep fit. Usually most office workers are busy with their things and most students are busy with their lessons, so they have no time to do sports. So riding bicycles is a good way to keep healthy for them.

Secondly, riding bicycles does good to our environment（环境）. As we know, driving cars can pollute（污染）air. It makes the temperature higher day by day, If we go to work by bike, the air will become cleaner than before. We can also save money at the same time. Why not enjoy doing it?
