Bicycles in the City
More and more people in Taiwan ride bicycles to work. A bicycle is cheap, and it does not make the air dirty. It is also good for your health.
Our city is proud of its new bike paths along the river. In the northern part of the city, the paths are even wider. Riders do not need to share the road with cars, so the ride is safe and quiet.
Of course, there are problems. After a heavy rain, riding is not fun. And a flat tire is a big problem on a busy day. Still, most riders say they will keep riding.
