The Growing Popularity of Cycling

Cycling(骑行) has become more and more popular in recent years, what makes people ride their bikes once again?
First, let's look at the health benefits. Cycling can improve your health and burn extra body fat. Strengthening the leg muscles helps to increase your speed. A long ride in the countryside could help you to clear your mind, or de-stress. But it's not only about your body and mind-but there are also some plus sides for your wallet's health.
Cycling can be a great way to commute(通勤) or get about town. If you do drive into work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a tough problem, but finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler.
Then, on the train, there are changes at stations and other commuters speaking loudly on their phones to deal with. And if you're worried about safety, there are special cycle paths in many major cities.
It can help you to reduce your carbon footprint. Not pumping out poisonous gases into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.
So, whether people want to cycle for their health, to get about town, for their wallet, for the environment, or a combination of all of them-the popularity of cycling is on the rise.
