People in Los Angeles (洛杉矶)are known for their love for cars. The city is very big, and its public transportation ( 公 共 交 通 )is slow( 慢 ). So people drive everywhere. But now, a group of bicyclists(骑自行车的人)are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes.
Devon Fitzgerald says he has to be careful(小心)when he rides his bike in the streets."A lot of people drive very fast, and it's very difficult to be careful."Although(虽然) riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he likes to ride his bike to work. "It's much easier than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking(停车)."
Roger Rosas drives to work. "You always have to make sure you look to the other side because someone would rush across by bike. Or you can easily get into an accident(事故)."
To make bicycling safer(更安全),some people who live and work near each other are riding to work together, which they call a "bike train". Nona Varnado helped create(创设)the group L. A. Bike Trains. "You're in a big group. If you're afraid of riding alone, you can now ride with other riders. "
Nona said that people would feel safer by riding together in a group.
