34、ration?

67、epped picture-pictures many-much作文Why are Bicycles so Popular in China? Bicycles are a convenient means of transportation. People can go wherever they like by bike on a short trip. It is easy to go to work or school by bike because most of the Chinese live not far away from where they work or study.
68、 Riding bicycles is also good exercise, which can help build peoples bodies. Whats more, riding bicycles can save energy. China has a population of more than 1,300 million. As bicycles are not expensive, almost every family has one. Now each family in China has at least a bike instead of a car. Thus a great deal of energy is saved and serious air pollution is reduced. Thats why bicycles are so popular in China.
