A bicycle may be seen by most people as a common thing, but for many Londoners, cycling is a way of life. According to a survey in 2018, about 570,000 bike journeys are made every day in London, just as many as cars and buses.
London started a bike-sharing system (制度) in 2010. "Bicycles have changed the way people get around our great city," Johnson told the reporter in 2018. In London, bikes are used for more than just taking short trips to and from the subway. If you want to go somewhere in the city, taking a bike is usually the quickest, easiest and cheapest choice.
And it's not just shred bikes that the government (政府) is encouraging people to ride In many companies (公司) across the UK, the UK government allows workers to buy a new Bike without paying any tax (税). This means that it's common to see many people cycling to and from work, and some bosses even give cyclist workplace showers. More importantly, they may not be angry if you ride a bike to work and arrive late.
Not only is it great for the environment and our body, cycling is also god for the mind. According to National Geographic Magazine, "Bike riding can improve people's happiness."
